jan 16, 1904 - United Methodist Church

Description:

The brick structure that was built in 1849 was used until the congregation moved in 1890 to a Gothic church constructed at the corner of Government and Broad streets, thus becoming Government Street Church. Famed architect George B. Rogers was hired to design an extensive remodeling of the Gothic structure to Spanish Colonial style in 1904.

Construction was begun in 1906 and completed in 1917. The building features two impressive stained-glass domes and the 1890 churchlargest two-manual pipe organ in the city. The stained glass windows were created by Boston artist Harry E. Goodhue, the American pioneer of medieval techniques of translucent artglass manufacture. A restored stained glass window from the original Gothic structure is in the chancel area.
