Questions Sent to: John Guszkowski, Planning & Development Director via email: planner@voluntown.gov The former Methodist Meeting House in the village center of Voluntown, Connecticut, is a onestory high-ceilinged wood frame building erected in the Greek Revival style before 1841. Based on documentation, the property began as a meeting house in the early 1800. The 1841 land lease indicated that the building was already in existence as a church. In 1968 the Voluntown Methodist Church merged with the Bethel Methodist Church ending the use of the building as a church. In the years since it was owned by the Voluntown Historical Society, then sold for private use, and is now owned by the Town of Voluntown. It is one of the last authentic representations of its unique design in New England. This design includes a sloping floor, pulpit at the entrance, original barrel-vaulted ceilings, and a seating capacity of 200. It has clapboarded walls, wide frieze with moldings, and the steeple is currently unattached. The building currently has no running water, or sewer hookup. The electrical and heating system have been disconnected. The Town of Voluntown reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to negotiate with one or more respondents, and to modify or reissue the Request for Proposals as needed to serve the best interest of the Town.
