In late October, while I was down for the afternoon in
Westfield, NJ, an affluent suburb of New York, my eyes were drawn to
First United Methodist Church, so much so that I took this picture. Even in this
bustling downtown, near a railroad underpass, this structure commands attention
as it overlooks the intersection of North Avenue West and East Broad Street.
But it’s not just because it’s on a slight rise over
the traffic. This Greek Revival structure has, in its present form, stood on
this spot since 1968. It replaced another building for this faith community
that had lasted 92 years.
