"There are two historic churches that are still in use and thus retain most of their original detail. One is the Union Bridge Methodist Protestant Church (now United Methodist) at 7 South Main Street (CARR1104). This is a three-bay wide by four-bay deep stretcher-bond brick structure with a projecting central bell tower and buttresses with hipped caps at the corners. The center bay has segmental-arched double doors at the ground story, and is flanked by segmental-arched 1/1 stained glass windows on each side. The upper, or sanctuary, level has a triple lancet window of stained glass in the center, with stained glass lancet windows on each side. There is a corbelled brick raking cornice. There is a date stone in the tower that reads "1882," with a double lancet stained glass window above, a wood box cornice, and a lanceolate wood-louvered vent with slate shingle siding at the top. The tower has a hipped-roof of standing-seam metal topped by a cross."
