Driving up South Main Street out of downtown, the road forks where Lexington Avenue diverges and, sitting on the point of the hill—looking out with a view over the entire heart of Mansfield—there has been a church on that site for nearly 100 years.
In the 1920s when the building was new it was called Main Street Apostolic Church, and today—in a different revised structure built in 1958—it is called Main Street Methodist Church.
Theologically, it may or may not have been a big leap from one name to the other, but in terms of architecture it involved a considerable straightening of curves, and consolidation of towers.
