West Vienna United Methodist Church was a historic church located at 5461 Wilson Road in Clio, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983,[1] and has apparently been demolished.

History

The West Vienna Church originally met in the West Vienna School House. The church formed the West Vienna Cemetery Association in 1880, and soon after decided to build a church nearby. The new building was constructed, and a dedication was held on October 12, 1882.[2]

The township of Vienna later took over the cemetery. In 1978, the West Vienna United Methodist Church built a new church near 1882 structure. The congregation still uses this building. The new West Vienna United Methodist Church is located at 5485 Wilson Road, which as of 2021 serves the congregation.[2] Presumably the earlier building was demolished.

Description

The West Vienna United Methodist Church was a rectangular gable end Greek Revival structure, three bays wide. It had a double door in the front facade, framed with classically detailed pilasters and a full entablature. A wide frieze ran around the top of the structure, and a square belfry was atop the roof. The windows had stained glass panes.[3]
