Broadway United Methodist Church

-A A +A
1892. Corner of 1st St. and E. Broadway

One can assume that the source for this church (most likely indirect) was southern French Romanesque architecture. Whatever the inspiration, the bold massing, the fenestration, and the thin, curved spire roof on the corner tower have been handled with great freedom.
