Echo Methodist Church

Echo Methodist Church is a church and historic church building in Echo, Oregon, Oregon, United States. Originally built in 1886 a simple New England vernacular style, it was expanded and transformed into the Gothic Revival style in 1910. It is the best example of Gothic Revival construction in the Echo area. As Echo's only Protestant church, built two years after the railroad arrived in town, its history also reflects changes in transportation and agriculture in the area.[1]
