Constructed in 1876, First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is part of the Maysville Downtown Historic District.
"The main facade of the Christian Church (#18), completed in 1876, is
dappled with the white pinnacles and weathering of its numerous buttresses, as well as with variously- shaped openings, Gothic, bull's-eye and lancet." ~ Quoted from National Register of Historic Places website (p. 16)
"The ecumenical approach to sources of design, which typified late 19th century American architecture, became evident in Maysville during these years. Gothic and Romanesque features were combined
in the First Christian Church of 1876." ~ Quoted from National Register of Historic Places website (p. 26)
