First United Methodist
Church
Memphis, TN
First United
Methodist Church has been in the same
location in downtown Memphis for 182
years. In October 2006, the 1891 Gothic
building (their third building) was destroyed
in a fire. Hord Architects was selected
to design a new 13,000 square foot church
building plus renovation of an existing
32,000 square foot Christian Education
building. The new building is designed
in the Gothic Revival tradition. The
exterior incorporates limestone, Mankato
stone, brick, and a base re-using the
original granite. Goals include permanence
and transcendence.
