History: The Methodist Church was constructed in 1894 by H.B. Lovejoy to replace the structure which had been destroyed by fire in 1893. The front part of the building is the original structure. In 1908, an addition was built on the west façade. In the late 1970’s, the Methodist Congregation decided to remodel and restore the building rather than replace it with a new one. In 1979, another addition was added to the west façade. The main entrance is now located on the north façade, but the original entrance remains intact on the east façade. The exterior of the Sanctuary remains unchanged while the orientation of the interior has been shifted to face south.

Description: Vernacular Church with gothic elements. Wood frame set on stone; with multiple cross gables on north and south 3-story tower on east façade; 1 ½- stories; shiplap siding; wood-shingled gable roof. Exterior features include large, stained glass gothic window with tracery on east façade; molded, boxed cornice.
