Corinne Methodist Episcopal Church (Corinne Methodist Church) is a historic church at the corner of Colorado and S. 600 Streets in Corinne, Utah. It was one of the first churches in Corrinne, a town established by non-Mormons in the overwhelmingly Mormon Utah Territory. It was the first Protestant building in Utah as well as the first Methodist church in Utah.[1] The church was completed in 1870, and was part of efforts by main-line Protestants to convert Mormons.[2]
The one-story brick church measures about 27feet by 50feet. The stone foundation is strongly battered, with short piers or pilasters at the corners. The interior is a single room, with a low platform opposite the entrance. The single door is set in a Gothic arch. Lancet windows flank the entrance, set in Gothic arched openings. A later wooden vestibule obscures the entry. A narrow lancet is set into the front gable. The shingle roof has a small wooden bell tower over the entry.[2] Side elevations are three bays with lancets set into inset rectangular panels. The rear elevation is entirely blank.[3]
The Corinne Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1870 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
