Harmony Grove Church - Lockeford, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The cornerstone for the Harmony Grove Methodist Church, believed to be the first and oldest surviving Protestant church in California’s Central Valley, was laid in 1859, with completion in 1861. Constructed originally in the Greek Revival Style, it was remodeled in 1868 in the Gothic Revival Style, abandoned in 1918, and restored in 1973. The church is a one-story brick building with a medium pitched front gable roof, arched Gothic Revival windows, and a central Gothic arched entry on the primary south façade. It is one of the few extant examples of the fusion of Greek and Gothic Revival styles in California, with the windows altered to the pointed Gothic Revival style in 1868. The church is located at 11455 East Locke Road, Lockeford, San Joaquin County, California. It faces south towards Locke Road, on a one-acre site, surrounded by a cemetery to the north rear and east side elevations. " (visit link)
