      <marmot:placeNotes>The first building of the First United Methodist Church (then called the Methodist Episcopal Church, South), was constructed at the intersection of 5th Street and White Avenue from March to July 1883. According to Grand Junction News articles from that time, it was a 24x40 foot building, made of adobe brick and fired brick. The building was replaced by a larger church in the same location in 1890. An education wing was added in 1904, and the church was remodeled again in the 1950's.&#xD;
&#xD;
According to oral history interviewee Gladys (Penberthy) Carnahan, a church member in the early Twentieth century, a pipe organ was purchased for the church with money raised by female members.&#xD;
