Also known as: Hol-46-10
Why it's listed
Built in 1903-1904 at 100 N. Clay Street in Millersburg, this one-story brick church is a Victorian Gothic building with an L-shaped plan. Its polychromatic tan brick walls are set off by dark brown stone sills, brick hood molds and a corbeled cornice. Wall buttresses and paired stained glass Gothic windows enrich the surface, and a bell tower with a pyramidal roof rises to the right of the front. A side entrance tower with battlements stands on the south wall. The foundation is rockfaced ashlar, the roof is gabled, and the interior retains its original woodwork. A modern wing at the left rear is used for education. The building replaced a frame church of 1859 and is described as a handsome early 20th century example of Gothic styling. Its decorative exterior reflects the dominant Protestant faith of Millersburg's residents. It sits in a mixed residential and commercial area, with a large front lawn and an alley behind.
Significance in brief: The nomination presents the church as a handsome early 20th century example of Gothic styling. Its richly decorative exterior reflects the predominance of the Protestant faith among Millersburg residents. It replaced a frame church built in 1859.

What listing means for this property
Religious properties are listed for their architectural or historical significance, not their religious use. Listing is honorary and does not restrict the congregation's use of the building. The federal rehabilitation credit is generally unavailable unless part of the building is income-producing; some state programmes and preservation grants do cover religious buildings. Federal funding or permits trigger Section 106 review.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
