First Methodist Episcopal Church (Windsor)

Weld County

The 1915 First Methodist Episcopal Church in Windsor is an excellent ecclesiastical example of Classical Revival and a well-preserved example of high style architecture applied in a small town setting.  Nebraska architect John R. Smith designed the building.

The church interior contains typical design elements of the Akron Plan, along with an unusual and complex star-shaped coffered sanctuary ceiling with pendant lights and a central octagonal stained glass dome.  The original building connects through a narrow passage to a sensitively designed 1995 Postmodern style addition.
