East Main Street Church of Christ: 216 East Main Street

The East Main Street Church of Christ has been meeting in this location since 1859. During the Civil War, both armies used it as a hospital. U.S. Col. James Garfield (later the 20th U.S. president) participated in services here in 1863 while serving as chief of staff to U.S. General William Rosecrans. The present building dates from 1900 and features stained glass windows and heavy brick Romanesque arches – a decorative, structurally strengthening technique popular at the turn of the 20th century.
