| 説明 | Built in 1930-31, this Gothic Revival-style church was designed by John Russell Pope and Charles I. Barber to replace the previous Church Street United Methodist Church, which had burned in 1928. The congregation, which was founded in 1816, was located in several previous church buildings before the present building was constructed. The first church, built in 1816, was a simple frame building, which was subsequently replaced with a brick structure on West Church Street in 1836, which was utilized as a hospital and stables during the Civil War, and was commandeered by the US Army between 1866 and 1873. Following the church regaining the ownership of the property, a new Gothic Revival-style brick church was built on the site in 1875-1878, which was destroyed by fire in 1928.The present building was built on a new site purchased by the congregation following the destruction of the previous church. The building features a Crab Orchard Sandstone exterior laid in a fieldstone pattern, with a large central sanctuary featuring a gabled roof, gothic arched stained glass windows with decorative trim, shallow pilasters, gable parapets at either end, low transepts, and a large asymmetrical tower with an open belfry, buttresses at the corners, a gothic arched entry portal, a tall spire at the southeast corner, and a crenellated parapet. The sanctuary is flanked by two wings, one of which dates to 1930-31, and the other constructed in 2017-19, which have covered breezeways with gothic arched openings, the same stone on the exterior facades, and cloisters between the wings and the sanctuary, with the wings featuring gabled roofs, the original wing featuring buttresses and an oriel window clad in stone, and the newer wing being smaller, with an entrance off the parking lot on the lower level, and architecture that mimics but does not exactly match the other wing, helping add to the picturesque romantic asymmetry of the church’s exterior composition. The interior of the church features a high nave with lower aisles, plaster walls, a carved wooden ceiling with decorative Gothic Revival-style tracery, stone trim, a wooden altar and a wooden organ loft, and stained glass windows manufactured by Charles J. Connick between 1941 and 1956. To the rear of the church is a series of wings that house additional space for the congregation, with the educational building, built in 1964, being Tudor Revival style, and the other wing, built in 1986-89, being the Church Life Building, a more modern wing that is a contemporary interpretation of the historic church’s exterior, and houses a gymnasium and features an asymmetrical shed roof with several gabled roof sections and eclectically sized and placed window openings.The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, and continues to serve as the home of the Church Street United Methodist Church congregation. |
