Title
Buford First United Methodist Church - Buford, GA
Description
The Buford United Methodist Church was organized August 19, 1871 as the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, meeting first in the unfloored log cabin which also housed the first school. The Methodist Church was the first church organized in the community - a full year before Buford was incorporated as a town.
The Congregation soon constructed a white frame building on Church Street as originally located near what is now Bell Street. This was the Church's home until 1894 when a brick sanctuary was constructed on the public square on what is now Scott Street, next to the present city hall.
This structure we are in, on the corner of Main and Hill Streets, is the Church's fourth home. It was built in 1926 on property donated by the Bona Allen family. Victor Allen, one of the Allen brothers, had his personal architect to design the building and prepare the blueprints. The sanctuary is noted for its near-perfect acoustics. Bona Allen, Jr. donated the sanctuary's grand piano, which is of fine cherry.
