It replaced an 1821 brick church.","why_significant":"The inventory states that the church's ornate nature and size reflect the importance of the Methodist faith in Millersburg. Its elaborate Romanesque Revival styling places it among the city's finest historic resources. A federal reviewer asked for more explanation of its architectural merit beyond naming the style.","narrative":"Built in 1871 on North Washington Street in Millersburg, this two-story brick church is an example of Romanesque Revival design. It replaced an earlier brick church from 1821. The rectangular building has a slate gable roof, tooled ashlar foundation, and walls laid in stretcher bond. Its decorative facade includes paired stained glass windows with brick hood molds, elaborate brick corbeling, and a second-story stone belt course. A wooden finial with a cross tops the gable, and a buttressed bell tower with a tent roof stands to the right. The sanctuary is on the second floor and has a balcony, older stained glass windows, a newer altar with wooden tracery, and a curved ceiling with exposed roof trusses reinforced by steel rods. A two-story classroom addition lies on the north side. The church was recognized because its ornate design and size reflect the importance of Methodism in Millersburg, and because it ranks among the city's finest historic buildings. It is still in use and in very good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Perkins (listed as architect or engineer)","architectural_style":"Romanesque Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a church; interior condition very good and exterior excellent.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.773498-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/84003744.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003744/68f24c48de-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84003744/68f24c48de-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Chris Light (talk)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:U_Methodist_Church_P9020135.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Light (talk)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:U_Methodist_Church_P9020135.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985513","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Methodist_Church_(Millersburg,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7888247"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/holmes-county/united-methodist-church-84003744/"}
