First Methodist Church, Olympia, 1870s

It is a white clapboard building, two stories, in a neoclassical style, with a pediment and truncated steeple with bell tower. Four tall sashed windows are along one side, and on the street side there are two sashed windows at ground level and three at second story. The central opening is flanked by columns, and there is a sign to its side reading in part M.E. Church, Erected 1856. Standing on the front steps is a group of thirteen men, women and children. One may be John DeVore, the founder and builder of the church. To the left of the church are two tree stumps, a gas lamp, and a tree.
