- St. Peter's Church (Episcopal) is located at 24 St. Peter St. at Brown and St. Peter Square.
- The present day granite masonry Gothic Revival church replaced the first St. Peter's Church, a wooden structure built on the same site in 1733-1734.
- Designed in 1833, the church was designed by Isaiah Rogers (1800-1969) the nationally renowned Boston architect. The original structure was enlarged in 1845/1846, as well as new interiors in 1864 and expanding the rear chapel in 1871. One story high, with a low hipped roof, the church is dominated by a square bell tower centered on the front facade. The church is largely preserved in its original state.
