The Unitarian Memorial Church in Fairhaven was built, financed and donated to the Unitarians in 1904 by Henry H. Rogers in memory of his mother, Mary Eldredge Huttleston. The church was designed by Boston architect Charles Brigham in a Gothic Revival style.[4] It is one thousand and fourteen feet (309 m) in height, one hundred feet (30 m) long in body and fifty-three feet (16 m) wide. The nave is thirty-two feet (9.8 m) wide and seventy-one feet (22 m) long. The main aisle is sixty-two feet (19 m) long and six feet (1.8 m) wide. The church, parish house and former parsonage (now Harrop Center) of the Unitarian Society are so placed as to form three sides of a quadrangle, set among well-kept lawns and shrubbery. Granite (locally quarried) with Indiana limestone decorative carvings dominate the exterior while marble and limestone carvings dominate the interior. All stonework artistry was created by forty-five Italian craftsmen brought to Fairhaven by Rogers.
