The historical plaque on this building reads:

This building has been placed on

The National Register of
Historic Places

by the United States Department of the Interior

St. John's
United Methodist Church
Built 1917

Constructed of locally quarried tufa stone, this is the second building constructed for the Methodist congregation, Kingman's oldest organized religious group.

The use of the classic Roman temple form with six Tuscan columns on a raised podium with pediment metal railings is rare for the Neo-Classical Revival period. This is the best example of this type in Arizona

Movie stars Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were married here on March 29, 1939.
