Olivet Methodist Episcopal Church

I cannot get over this church! Olivet United Methodist Church was built in 1871 in the small community of Riversburg. It’s not often that you see an old church this Victorian! The doors are significant to its architecture in that they are considered “Christian door” style to represent an open Bible. Highway 31 soon came through and took much of the church’s front yard in both 1927 and 1951. The 2nd time, they moved the church backwards to put some distance between it and the highway. They also placed it onto a new basement to expand it some.
