Summary

Description
English: Built in 1937, this Art Deco-style building was designed by Roland Johnson for the Fidelity Investment Association Company, which folded in the late 1940s. In 1950-1951, the building was sold to the congregation of the Fourth Street United Methodist Church, which moved into the building and renovated it to suit their needs. The building features limestone cladding on the facades facing Chapline Street and 11th Street, with buff brick cladding to the sides and rear, a stepped massing that gets taller towards the center of the building, rising to five stories at its tallest, and lowering to three-story wings on the north and south sides, setbacks on the north and south sides, which allows for daylight to reach the interior spaces of the building, replacement windows, decorative metal spandrels between the windows on the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors on the front wing of the building, a decorative stone awning over the recessed bronze entrance doors, a gray granite panel base, a carved sculptural relief of a boat above the central bays of the fifth floor, a balcony at the easternmost bay of the second floor of the south facade with a decorative metal railing, a two-story rooftop addition on the northeast wing of the building, added in the mid-20th Century, large window bays at the central portions of the north and south facades, with decorative sculptural reliefs above the second-story windows on the south facade, rusticated stone cladding on the first floor, and a hipped roof over the central bays of the west facade. Inside, the building features rich materials, including rare woods and marble, metal trim and handrails, and is generally appointed in the Art Deco style, with the sanctuary being in the largest space within the building, located on the second floor, which has large windows to the north and south. The building is a contributing structure in the East Wheeling Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The building, known as the Methodist Building, presently houses various office tenants, as well as the Fourth Street Methodist Church.
