Former Main Street Methodist Church at 208 South Main Street


Built in 1912, this handsome Gothic Revival style church was constructed by a congregation in 1911, whose name was later changed, in 1949, to Main Street Methodist. 

Since 1976, Alexander Memorial Baptist Church has occupied the church and holds regular services. The sanctuary is well-detailed and features perforated rafters and gracefully curved pews. 

The gable-fronted main block is dominated by a pair of buttressed square entrance towers, both with pyramidal roofs. The original slate roof was removed several years ago and replaced by a more modern shingle-style roof covering. If you are a former or current member, we would love to hear any additional information or stories you may have to share!
