Pansy Methodist Church is a historic church at Pansy in Clinton County, Ohio, United States. Built in 1885,[1] it was formerly home to a congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Few changes have been made to the church or to its adjacent church school since they were built: neither building has any central heating or plumbing, and the interiors retain the open, undivided floor plans with which they were designed.[2]
Built in 1885 and 1900 respectively,[3] the church and school are a mix of architectural styles. Measuring approximately 28 by 46 feet (8.5 by 14.0 m), the church is a Gothic Revival building with three ogive windows on each side; worshippers entered through a large front door in a Gothic arched doorway with a transom light. A small tower with a belfry sits atop the roof at the front of the church; it is decorated with ornate latticework. Nearby, the school measures 29 by 40 feet (8.8 by 12.2 m); its Romanesque Revival style is evidenced by elements such as pilasters on the corners and decorative brickwork below the roofline.[2] Both buildings are constructed of brick on stone foundations and feature slate roofs.[3]
In 1973, the church and school were designated a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to their historically significant architecture.[1] Key to this designation was their place as a rare example of the nineteenth-century country church; they were seen as evoking a sense of historic rural Christianity in the region.[2]
