Central Methodist Church
Inscription
This Richardsonian Romanesque church was erected in 1892-93 according to plans by Bay City architect Dillon P. Clark. It is one of several buildings in the city constructed of red “canal rubble” sandstone discarded during a power canal excavation. The church sustained three fires; the most recent occurred on December 22, 1941, during a wartime blackout.
Although the interior suffered extensive damage, the original exterior structure remains substantially unchanged.
