Methodist Churches

The First Methodist Church in City Hall Square had a church bell made by Paul Revere. The  bell was saved after the fire in 1972 and moved to the church on the corner of Union and Chestnut Streets. The bell has moved again.

 Maple Street Methodist Church was popular and successful at the corner of Maple and Chestnut streets through the 60's and 70's. Like many churches in America, attendance fell as good church goers chose the local malls as their Sunday destination. Today this spot is a credit union. Photos below were taken the week before demolition.

The building that houses the former Lakeside Methodist Church is still occupied on Euclid Avenue but by another denomination.

Although not a post card, this image is from a plate that depicts the Old First Methodist Church. This church was on the corner of South Common and Market Streets and founded in 1791.
