United Church (Fogo)

---

This small church was built in 1877, a fact which the simple wooden crocket proudly proclaims. Like many outport churches it was built towerless -- a gable-roofed structure with its entrance in the gable end. A tower was added in 1949 which bears a remarkable resemblance to that on the Anglican Church of St. Andrews built in 1916. With its bargeboard and pointed arch windows it is fairly clearly in the Gothic Revival manner. It sits beside the Catholic Church on the south side of Fogo Harbour and to the east of it lies the Anglican Church as well as the Lodges of the Masons and the Society of United Fishermen.
