The First Congregational Church of East Haven (also known as Old Stone Church) is a historic church at 251 Main Street in East Haven, Connecticut. It is a red sandstone structure, 2-1/2 stories in height, set on a large grassy lot overlooking the town center. It was built in 1772-74 by George Lancraft, a local builder, and is one of Connecticut's few surviving pre-Revolutionary churches. Its design follows the pattern of the period, with the main entrance on the long side, with the tower at one of the short gable ends.[2]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
