The Plum Grove Primitive Methodist Church is a historic church on County Trunk Highway BB in Ridgeway, Wisconsin. The church was built in 1882 for a newly formed Methodist congregation, an outgrowth of the large Methodist community in Mineral Point. In the 19th century, both Mineral Point and Iowa County as a whole had a large Cornish immigrant population who came to the area to work in its lead and zinc mines; as the immigrants were predominantly Methodist, they build many new Methodist churches for their congregations. The Plum Grove church is a one-story Gothic Revival wood frame structure with board siding, an arched entrance and windows, and a gable roof. The church changed its affiliation to the Congregational Church in 1913, and regular services in the 1882 building stopped around the same time. The Plum Grove community converted the building to a community center in the 1930s and used it for local events until the 1970s. [2]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. [1] [3]

The Winton Place Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic church building in the Winton Place neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States that was constructed as the home of a congregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the late nineteenth century. The congregation grew out of a group that was founded in 1856; although the members erected their first building in 1860, they were not officially organized until 1872. Among the leading members of the congregation was Samuel Hannaford, a prominent Cincinnati architect. When the congregation chose to build a new church building in 1884, Hannaford was chosen as the architect for the project. At this time, Hannaford was near to the peak of his prestige: he had ended a partnership with another architect seven years before, and his reputation was growing with his designs of significant Cincinnati-area buildings such as the Cincinnati Music Hall.
