Chesterville Methodist Church

The Chesterville Methodist Church is a United Methodist congregation in the village of Chesterville, Ohio, United States. Founded in the 1830s, it is Chesterville's only church, and it worships in a landmark 1850s building. Constructed during the village's most prominent years, the building is one of the most significant structures anywhere in the community, and it has been named a historic site as an important part of the village's nineteenth-century built environment.ArchitectureBuilt of brick on a foundation of sandstone, the Chesterville Methodist Church building is a Greek Revival structure covered with a metal roof and possessing exterior elements of wood. When originally built, the church measured 70x. Today, the facade and side are both divided into three bays: two windows (one above the other) appear in each side bay and in the right and left bays of the facade, while the middle facade bay is pierced by an entry door with a datestone above it. Above the main part of the facade is a pediment, and a belfry crowns the building.
