The United Church of Ludlow was constructed in the late 19th century in the historic Ludlow Village. It has a vibrant program of services, Sunday school, outreach programs, and an interesting history. Ludlow Village itself is listed on the State Register of Historic Places and the church is located in one of its 19th century neighborhoods.
The church was built in 1892 and is a fine example of Shingle-style architecture. This is emphasized by the cross-gable roof, the large gables, corner towers and the shingled surface of the exterior walls. The church is over 2 stories tall, with a corner tower housing a cast iron bell. The entry porch to the front of the building is of the Colonial Revival style with Tuscan columns. There are a series of Palladian stained glass windows depicting a dove representing the Holy Ghost, a cross and crown, and another showing Christ with Mary and Martha.
The first story houses the library which is partly located in the tower, and has hardwood floors, a molded oak beam ceiling and oak mantel. The first floor also has the vestry, church offices and kitchen. The Sanctuary is located on the the second floor. It has a vaulted ceiling and a raised altar with space for the choir, the pipe organ and the pulpit, and decorated oak pews in a semicircle. The Ladies Parlor, also on the second floor, has a center medallion and friezes on the walls. Alterations were made to the church in the 1940s when the exterior walls were re-shingled.
