Brighton Allston Congregational Church[2] is a historic church at 404-410 Washington Street in the center of Brighton, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The current church building was designed by Blackall, Clapp and Whittemore and C.S. Allen and Company and built in 1922. Colonial Revival in style, it has a pedimented entry portico with fluted columns.[3] It was built on the foundation of the previous church to stand at the site, a Gothic Revival structure that burned in 1921. The congregation was established in 1827 via a schism from Brighton's first congregation.[4]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
