Located at 7 Crombie Street, this Federal-Greek Revival transitional building was built as a theatre in 1827/28.
The theatre did not thrive and in 1832 the building passed to a dissenting group from the Howard Street Church which established itself as the "New Congregational Church" and then the "Crombie Street Church."
The Crombie Street Church is now closed and has been remodeled as condominiums.
Starting approximately in 1979, Salem Mission operated a homeless shelter and served meals there until they moved to 56 Margin Street, using the St. Mary's Italian church who had closed their doors in 2004.
