The Arlington St Church in Boston is one of the oldest churches in the city. The church started functioning since 1729. It is frequently visited by the believers in Unitarianism and Universalism. People belonging to any religion are welcome at the church. Arlington St Church made a remarkable impact in 2004 when the same-sex marriage was sanctioned and organized here for the first time in US. The worships are held here every Sunday morning at 10:30A.M. The location of Arlington St Church in the Back Bay at the edge of Arlington and Boylston Streets makes it convenient for the Boston people to approach the church. The Boston Public Garden lies adjacent to this church where the visitors can go for a walk after paying a visit to the church.

The architecture of Arlington St Church is a delight to watch for any onlooker. The design of this church was greatly influenced by Italy's Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato. The arches of Arlington St Church are rounded and the columns bear a Corinthian influence. The panels lying in both sides of the choir loft are inscribed with the text of the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments. The windows of this church were designed by the Tiffany Studios. Another unique object placed in the prayer hall of Arlington St Church is the Aeolian-Skinner organ.
Boston Common Garage can be availed by the members of the church to park their cars. For the tourists, an alley next to the church is available for car parking. This space is rented throughout the week for the convenience of the visitors.
