The sanctuary of the Congregational Church. The pulpit, pipe organ and choir boxes are in an arched inset apse in the wall. The some of the pipe organ pipes have a scroll design painted on them, perhaps a modified fleur de lis pattern. The apse walls are a dark wood paneling, but the front of the choir boxes are painted white. The pulpit appears to be a lectern, and stands with a small altar table are directly in front of the pipe organ. The wall framing the apse has patterned wallpaper with a complimentary wallpaper border on the top third of the wall. Two doorways are visible, one to the right of the apse and one facing the pews. A large gas chandelier with frosted glass globes hangs in the center aisle of the nave. A few rows of pews are in the foreground.
