1911, Sanguinet and Staats. 102 N. 2nd St.

The great curved front in polychrome brick of the three-story church is vaguely Romanesque with arched windows separated by projecting pilasters and a corbeled brick cornice. Paired towers with bracketed pyramidal roofs anchor the ends of the hemisphere, which reflects the seating-in-the-round plan preferred by the Methodists.
