Altered tower; steeply pitched roof; Gothic stained glass windows. Adjacent meeting hall. Building is distinctive because the Sunday School rooms are on the first floor and the chancel is on the second floor.

"Circa 1877. United Methodist Church. The first church congregation in Lake Geneva. The building is unique in that the Sunday School rooms are on the first floor and the chancel is on the second floor."
