Summary edit

Description
English: Fillmore Chapel United Methodist Church, 2523 Youngstown Wilson Road at Ransomville Road, Porter, New York, June 2022. Built in 1852, this simple wood-framed country church is a fine example of the Greek Revival style of architecture whose era of popularity in the United States was just beginning to draw to a close (and, indeed, was already pretty much over with in the large East Coast metropolises). Here we see a symmetrical façade replete with subtle and simple yet handsome Classical elements: a shallow-pitched roof whose large front gable is consciously analogous to a pediment; Doric pilaster strips flanking both the façade itself and, in stylized form, framing the entrance along with a simple entablature. Among the oldest extant congregations in the area, Fillmore Chapel was founded in 1822 and met initially in the home of its founding pastor, Rev. George Ash. Interestingly, the congregation takes its name from a wholly different figure in the early history of Western New York Methodism, namely the famous Rev. Glezen Fillmore, a frontier circuit preacher who presided over the first Methodist services west of the Genesee River, and who was a cousin of future U.S. President Millard Fillmore.
