From Jonesboro Union Church National Register Nomination:
Situated on a hill overlooking the US Route 1. the main coastal highway between Ellsworth Maine and Canada, the Jonesboro Union Church overlooks the comings and goings of residents and tourists to this small, fishing town on the Down East Coast. As with so many small town churches this one has been at the center of community life since its construction in 1840, but this church differs from the stereotypical gable-fronted, classically biased sanctuary on the green due to a radical remodeling in 1911. The Jonesboro Union Church is eligible for nomination to the National Register under Criteria C as an example of an early, and rural. Gothic style churdi by noted architect Edward Leander Higgins.
