Central City, Colorado

St. James United Methodist Church

Description (click to open)
St. James is both the oldest Protestant church organization (founded in 1859) and oldest Protestant church building still in use in Colorado. The building was constructed in stages from 1863 and completed in 1872. Because of the terrain, the church is built into the hillside. The interior features a pipe organ installed in 1899, which was operated by water power until 1932.
