Bigelow Methodist Episcopal Church, South

Bigelow Methodist Episcopal Church, South is a historic church west of the junction of Volman and Emma Streets in Bigelow, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood frame structure with a gabled roof and weatherboard siding. It has a slightly project entry vestibule, with a double-door entry topped by a single-pane square window. Above this a flared roof section transitions to a square tower, which straddles across the end of the main roof and is topped by a gabled roof. The eaves of all roofs show exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style. It was built about 1908, at a time when the small town was undergoing a boom due to the lumber industry. The church is one of the few surviving buildings from that period.[2]
