First United Methodist - Premiere Eglise Methodiste

The architect for this important church was Lucien Smith. A noted New York architect, he was working under a very limited budget (about $100,000) at the outset of America's participation in WWI. Technically Lombard Romanesque, the building is clearly Byzantine, a designation not popular in the early 20th Century. It may be the only red brick Byzantine church in America.
