The present United or First -Methodist Church fin nting south onChurch Street in Wairen, Rhdde Ièland, was built in lBhh, the second -

- The smaller third level of the steeple repeats that of the clocklevel and is pierced by 6-over-6 windows of battered shape with heavyarchi-raves. Upon this stac;e rises the delicate octagonal cupola, with

* panelled pilaster’s and eight windows, which supports the panelled, wood-sheathed spire and the weathorvane with its gilded arrow.

During renovations in l97d ti-ta acroteria unon the cornice ‘of thebell ‘tower and these may have originally been a repeated adornment atthe upper levels of the steeple were removed duo to deterioration andhave not been replaced. - - * -

Interior.

The church auditorium is-reached by stairs at oither side of’ a- large, high front hall which contains a hal,conv and a catwalk from it to

the bell_rope. Staircases have massive turned newel posts rectangular.iood halustCrs that- continue across the ‘balcony- Valls are plastereddown to a wainscot of’ horizontal flush hoards.

The auditorium, designed tc sent $Oo, is noarly square, Treasuring6o’ _6t1 wide anti 6$’ _6t deep. The pew plan Is laid out with a wide center

- aisle and side aisles; the origin-al, box pews are dtill in place. Theside balconies havO plain fronts of recessed pa nell,im’ and are each supported by four round wooden columns with Boric capitals. The originalchoir loft or rear balcony is now closed off by a solid wall.

- An 18Th stereoscopic photograoh of the altar wall is of great interest, showing ‘that area before the present organ was installed in 1907.This shot-is painted trcmne-l’cei]. decoration representing two great Ioniccol,umns set in Trbnt of a pilastered wall,; these columns support an en--’tablature with frieze ard dentils,’ b,elow,a nancCUted ceiling. The paintedperspective creates an illusion of are-st depth in what is actually a very* shallow platform. This old view also shows details painted on the pilaster ,c-anitals on each side of the platform, a 3reek-ke frieze around

- the nanelled ceiling and a hand of dentils on the as atinuous entablature---all, seen today without. this ornamentation. Church records suggest that

- all those elaboran.ions maw have’ boon added in 1869. -

Today, two colossal free-standing fluted Ionic columns - stand at therear of the auditorium, slightly forward north of the choir balcony andthe curiing vestibule wall; they’ support the rnatj cornice of the audito- -

-- STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - ‘ -

The’ present churh building’ of l8bh -stands on land given by John -‘

Luther in i79L and on the site of the first church building, dedicatedon September 2h of that same year. The, story ‘of Nethodism in Warren began in 1789 when the Reverend Daniel’ Smith an associate of the Reverend.ilesse Lee, a noted pioneer of Methodism, held the first meeting in Kicka-muit, not-i East Warren, By 1723, the Reverend Philip’Wager had been appointed first’ minister of Warren Church. By l8 his little ‘church hadbeen outgrown, and in that year--during a rriod of great commdrcialprosperity in Warren, generated by’ sea trade, ‘ship-building ‘ahd whaling---the - congregation decided to arect a larger building.

This hui1djn is an excellent example of th vernacular architecture here in the Greek Revival style which is an impcirtant pax-t ofour American heritage - Not only is the church -an outstanding archi-.tectural landmark, hut it is located in the heart of Warren s historic’‘waterfront area, where enough of tile town’s early building remains towarrant designation ar an historic area. A full survey- of the wholearea is now being completed for the Rhode Island Hibtoricaf Preservation Commission. . ‘ - . . -

3. Significance.

The house was built in 1858 by the Methodist Church as a parsonageand has remained as such to the present. It has suffered.no remodelingand all of the exterior detail has been preserved intact. As it stillserves its original purPose and maintains its original appearance, the --

parsonage is a fine vernacular example of the Italian VilYa style.-

This is one of the few instances in the history of ‘arnacular- building where the names of the men who were responsible for the designand execution of the building are known A building, contract between theBuilding Committee of the Methodist Church and the carpenter survives.Ezra Millard Martin 1818-1900 of Warren agreed to construct the buildingfollowing: the plans and detailed drawings of ‘tHoar and Drown". LewisThomas Hoar 1310-1881 was Martin’s nartner in a local lumber businessand:.the Drown referred to was @ither Henry Francis 1818-1899 or -JoshuaChamplin 1821-1907, brothers and both carpenters in Warren4 None ofthese men were architects. They were born in and spent their lives in theirrnedia-te area and the parsonagereflects their provincialism and lack ofprofessional training. Their version of the Italian Villa has beenmodified in accordancewith their knowledge and capabilities, They did -

succeed in capturing the basic qualities of the style and showed theirindividuality in the truly splendid brackets beneath the cornices.

The parsonage is as fine an example of vernacular architecture inthe Italian Villa style as the church is in the Greek Revival, Moreover,the parsonage survives unaltered. The church and parsonage areconsideredone nropertv and together form an integral Dart of Warren’s historicwaterfront district. -
