Mission Church of St. John the Evangelist holds its first service.

(June) Architect: Solomon Willard. Originally the Congregational Society Church (second) or Bowdoin Street Congregational Church, the granite building is designed in the Early Gothic Revival style and located at 35 Bowdoin Street. Lyman Beecher is the first minister. Subsequent congregants include T.S. Eliot and Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. The congregation reorganizes and moves to a new building in 1840. This building becomes the Church of the Advent in 1864 and the Mission Church of St. John the Evangelist in 1883. It becomes an outreach ministry for the church in 1985. The congregation joins that of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul and the building and adjacent rectory are converted to commercial use in 2015.
