DescriptionView of the building in the northern part of Danbury in which Robert Sandeman established his church in 1763. The former church is a small two-story building on the left. A small one-story building is in the center and part of a second two-story building with a fence around it is at the right. The Sandemanians believed their church was the only true church, arisen from the ruins of the Antichrist, whose reign was near its close.
