Downtown Jacksonville: Explore the More

Originally known as Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, the Snyder Memorial Methodist congregation was founded in 1870. Following the destruction of its church during the 1901 Fire, plans were immediately made to erect another building on the same site. Work began late in 1902, with the first services held in the new building one year later.

This church is a fine tribute to the craftsmen who came to rebuild Jacksonville after the big fire. Carved stone detailing along with a crenelated bell tower that projects from the northeast corner of the sanctuary. An intricate rose window graces the facade. The building remains virtually unchanged from its original construction. Its highly visible site overlooking Hemming Plaza adds to Snyder Memorial's prominence in the architecture of Downtown.
