The Late Gothic Revival style church has been in use for religious services and community events since its dedication.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1] HistoryThe First Methodist Episcopal Church grew from circuit riding preachers in the Ohio valley area in 1787. Methodists met in a combined church built in 1819, with Presbyterians and Baptists, in the area that became Mckeesport. The First Methodist Episcopal Church congregation was incorporated in 1841. Growth had moved the congregation to a third church by 1876.[2] That church, at the corner of Walnut Street and Penny Avenue was destroyed by fire on July 11, 1924. Planning for a new building began soon after. Land was purchased along Fourteenth Avenue, now Cornell Street. Ground breaking was on Sunday, June 14, 1925, the completed church was dedicated on Sunday, November 21, 1926.[2] ArchitectureThe church is built in three main sections, a Nave, a Chapel, and the Community building.[3] The northern section, the Nave, with its north and south transepts form a cross when viewed from overhead. A bell tower is situated at the center of that cross.[2] The sandstone building is built on a steel-reinforced concrete foundation. No major changes have been made to the building since its construction.[2] {{Portal|Pittsburgh}}References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/listings/20141010.htm |title=Weekly list of actions taken on properties: 9/29/14 through 10/03/04 |date=October 10, 2014 |publisher=National Park Service |accessdate=September 28, 2015}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania}}{{Pittsburgh Metro Area}}{{AlleghenyCountyPA-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/CRGIS| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H019798_01H.pdf}}| title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: First Methodist Episcopal Church of McKeesport)| accessdate = 2015-09-28|author=Eugene Ziegler| format = PDF| date= January 31, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/CRGIS| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H019798_02A.pdf}}| title = Site Plan: First Methodist Episcopal Church of McKeesport)| accessdate = 2015-09-28|author=Eugene Ziegler| format = PDF| date= January 31, 2014}} 4 : Churches on the National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania|Churches in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania|Churches completed in 1926|National Register of Historic Places in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania |
