Description
Richmond Methodist Church Addition by Kathy K. McClellan is a photographic image created for Day 253 of the 365 Challenge (Journal 2022). This is a square image format.
The United Methodist Church in Richmond, Ohio (USA) is part of the Ohio Valley District in the East Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church Organization.
The original section of this church was built in 1861 but the church itself was established much earlier as the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Methodist Episcopal cemetery which is located across the street behind the church, was established in 1831.
Two additions have been added over the years to the original building and the grounds in front of the church are graced with several tall and very old maple trees.
This image shows the front portion of the original building and the latest addition. Although the brick does not match exactly there are other architectural features that were included in the newer section to match features on the older section.
The brickwork on the corners of both buildings are raised up and arches are formed in the brickwork along the roof line of both sections.
Just as the stained glass windows on the original building were arched with circular brickwork around the tops of the windows, the upper windows on the new addition match the shape of the original windows with the same brickwork framing the arched portion.
The first floor windows and doors are capped with stone mimicking the first floor windows and doors on the older building.
