The cornerstone for the present stately brick building was laid June, 1903, and the first services were held on June 26, 1904. The congregation goes back to 1831. Through efforts of church members the present building was constructed at the cost of $50,000. In 1923 an expansion program costing $90,000 was completed. The architecture of the building is an example of the academic neoclassicism, common at the turn of the century. Outstanding exterior features of St. Paul Church are the four lonic columns, stained glass windows, and predominant dome. In 2005 the congregation consolidated with that of the nearby Grace United Methodist Church to form the new First United Methodist Church. Architectural style: Greek Revival.
