First (United) Methodist Episcopal Church
1895–1896, Joseph Schwartz. 302 S. Carroll
This picturesque, rambling church of bluegray quartzite and red sandstone has a tall entrance tower at one corner. In style the building is Central European Romanesque. Here, as well as in the design of the 1916–1917 Lyon County Courthouse, Schwartz demonstrated a knowledge of historic forms and current fashion as well as an ability to realize these designs in an original manner.
