Hotchkiss Methodist Episcopal Church

Delta County

The 1925 Hotchkiss Methodist Episcopal Church is an excellent example of the Craftsman style applied to an ecclesiastical building.  The church displays the typical characteristics of the style such as local stone, truss work, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, and wood shingles.

Additional details – the decoratively carved bargeboards on the exterior, and the beams and sculpted rafters on the interior – attest to the expert craftsmanship of local builder Peter Stewart.
