| Additional Information: | Surveyed in July 2020 by UWM-CRM as part of the WisDOT USH 63 reconstruction project. The Contemporary-style First United Methodist Church was constructed around 1972. The building is irregular in plan and consists of three distinct building masses. Each building mass has multi-directional shed roofs of varying heights. Bands of clerestory windows are located between the overlapping roofs and in the triangular areas of the side walls below the eaves. The roof overhangs have exposed laminated beams. The building is clad in vertical board siding. The building is oriented with its long southern exposure fronting onto a parking lot. The south elevation contains a flat-roofed porte cochere over the main entry. The north elevation faces onto a secondary parking area and gently sloping lawn that continues to the USH 63 roadway. |
