Rollo Congregational United Church of Christ

Rollo Congregational United Church of Christ is a Congregational church at 2471 Weddell Street in Rollo, Illinois. Rollo's Congregational church was founded in 1865; it originally met in a wooden church in rural Paw Paw Township and moved to Rollo in 1886. The present church building was built in 1913 after a storm damaged the previous church. Built by Andrew Svihus of nearby Shabbona, the church has a vernacular side steeple plan with Romanesque Revival details. Its design includes a brick exterior marked by pilasters and corbelling, a cross-gabled roof with a front-facing gable, a smaller gable above the front entrance, and a bell tower at the southeast corner.[2]
