Summary edit

Description
English: Calvary Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, 1007 Ellicott Street at Dodge Street, Buffalo, New York, May 2020. Built in 1901 to a design by the firm of A. E. Minks and Sons, here we have a handsome Gothic Revival design with some impressive corbel work in the brick façade including step corbeling lining the upper side of the large cross gables, stained-glass windows featuring a floral motif in the tracery along with the traditional trefoils, quatrefoils, and pointed arches, and an overall more stout and bottom-heavy appearance than is usual with the style. Calvary English Evangelical Lutheran Church was the original congregation to call the building home; founded in 1891 as a schism from First Trinity Lutheran borne over the former's desire to begin holding services in English rather than German; the frame church they constructed on the same site with the help of the Lutheran Church of Buffalo's Mission Society was replaced a decade later by the current building. Calvary Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, a congregation that appears to have been one of the daughter churches engendered when the congregation of the former Jubilee Temple CME Church on Pratt Street split over the dismissal of a popular pastor - has occupied the property since c. 1955.
