Title

Seven photographs of the Monroe Methodist Church, Monroe, Ohio, various undated

Description

Monroe Methodist Church was organized in 1823. The founding “father” of the Church was Nathaniel Sackett, who also founded Monroe. The early Methodists met in Sackett’s home from 1818 – 1823. The first building was a log cabin at 127 South Street - present-day Lebanon Street. Later a frame building was erected at the end of Center Street - present-day Church Street - and East Avenue. By the mid-1850s the membership had grown to over 100, and more space was needed. In 1860, that building was razed, and a new brick church was completed in 1861 at the same location. In 1969, the tornado that swept through Monroe brought the steeple down, and destroyed the building shown in these photographs.
