Bristol Congregational Church, located at 107 W. Center Street in Yorkville, Illinois, is a historic church built in 1855 for a congregation established in the 1830s. The structure blends Greek Revival and Carpenter Gothic styles, drawing its design from a pattern book. Its Greek Revival character is evident in the bell tower, pediment, and symmetrical windows, while Carpenter Gothic elements—primarily ornamental wooden trim and a finial—provide decorative accents. The church remains Yorkville's only surviving 19th-century church and its oldest non-residential building. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 2016.
