High Street Methodist Church was
founded in 1844 by a division of the city’s
Methodists into eastern and western stations
(sections). The eastern section became known as
Washington Street Methodist Church after the
location of its new building and the western section
took the name High Street from its address. The
original temple-form brick church with round-arched
windows is concealed behind an asymmetrical
Romanesque front added in 1897-99. The building is
currently unoccupied. The building occupies a
dramatic site at a marked bend in High Street.
