Methodist Church, Hillsboro

Title

Methodist Church, Hillsboro

Description

Photograph of a Shingle Style church with a cross-gabled layout, featuring white sides and darker shingle sections on the top of each wall. The bell tower features a balcony with white sides surmounted by shingled arches, and a square pyramid roof topped by an elaborate cup and cross. The church entrance sits away from the street and is a double door in a recessed, graduated archway. Five narrow double-hung windows dominate the facade next to it, two on either side of three in a row. The three are topped by an arched transom window, and the shingled pediment has a matching center arch and extends out over the windows. A smaller, arched window sits around the corner, and another door is visible at the far end of the building sitting inside a smaller arch in the same style as the front door. The building sits on a poured foundation and a sidewalk runs along both sides. A large power poles can be seen in the left of the image, with double cross-ties and a number of power lines running parallel to the church's layout. The empty lot in front of the church appears to be bare dirt. A large, bare tree stands in front of the main window, and others are visible alongside the church, evenly spaced.
