Second Church in Boston (also known as Ruggles
Baptist Church) is a historic church building at 874 on
Beacon Street in Boston, Massachusetts. It was built in
1914.
The Second Church, Boston congregation was founded in
1649, as the second Puritan church in Boston. Later the
congregation adopted a Unitarian theology. After moving to
several meeting houses, the congregation constructed the
Beacon Street building in 1914 in a Colonial Revival style.
In 1970 the Second Church congregation merged with First
Church in Boston, and the Ruggles Baptist Church
congregation acquired the Beacon Street building. The church
building was added to the National Register of Historic
Places on June 24, 2010. Services are held at 10am on
Sundays.
