English:
Heath Union Church
5 East Main Street Heath, Massachusetts "Col. David Snow (1779-1862) designed the church with modest Gothic Revival features in the center facade window, blind-arch side windows with Greek Revival pilasters and a box belfrey with restored bell and weather vane (1980). The interior includes the original arched ceiling and restored pew boxes (1915). The traction Johnson organ (installed 1851) originally pumped from behind by a boy, came from Whately and was built in Haydenville, MA. It may be the oldest in existence."
