"The Central United Methodist Church is multi-storied structure with turrets and small gable protrusions attached to its basic cross-gable nave floor plan. The Richardsonian Romanesque church is constructed of local red sandstone and features broad roof plains and arches over the doors and the arcade-like groupings of the windows. A dark red sandstone beltcourse runs around all facades at the height of the first floor. Dominating the composition is a prominent, square carillon tower with arched windows on the first level and tall, louvered openings, grouped in threes and topped by arches on the upper level. The tower is topped with a steep, pyramidal roof. A circular turret is located on the opposite corner of the facade from the carillon. A modern, two-story annex is attached to the rear of the building".
