It is designed in the Greek Revival style, with a gable roof, cornices and a three-bay front. The front has clearly been extended, shown by windows of different sizes and a cupola set back from the facade, though Greek elements remain on the front. The interior has been much remodeled, and a newer addition lies on the north side. The congregation began as the Methodist church, one of three in Huntington. As the town's population shrank, only one church was needed, and the building became the United Church, affiliated with the United Church of Christ. It remains in use as a church. The listed property includes the building and less than two acres of green space to the west and south, with parking to the north.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a church; interior and exterior condition listed as good, with a new addition on the north side and a much remodeled interior.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.893678-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79003895.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003895/dac9e681e1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003895/dac9e681e1-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_Church_of_Huntington.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_Church_of_Huntington.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985766","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Church_of_Huntington","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7887598"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/lorain-county/united-church-of-huntington-79003895/"}
