Calhoun Square: Wesley Monumental U.M.C.
Soaring spires and Gothic arches on a church named for English clergy brothers John and Charles Wesley, founders of Methodism. Begun in 1868, the church was not dedicated until 1890, because of Reconstruction money woes and a yellow fever epidemic. The sanctuary of this busy parish seats 1000; a new Noack organ was dedicated in 1985, "Methodism with a warm heart" is the motto here. Abercorn Street on Calhoun Square.
