Stillmore Methodist Church

It was organized in 1892 shortly after the town was founded. The first minister, Charles Edward Choate was also an up and coming architect. They built a small wood frame church in 1895 which was struck by lightning and burned in 1905. Mr Choate, who by that time had left the ministry and became a very renowned architect, designed and constructed this Romanesque Style Church. Again a fire struck in 1915 and damaged the church but it was restored to it's original appearance and is still active today.
