First United Methodist Church

The First United Methodist Church is one of the oldest remaining churches in Reno. Built in 1925, the period revival cathedral displays impressive gothic revival design elements, utilizing a cross plan, typical of that style. The three-story cathedral was one of the first poured-concrete buildings in Reno. The wood grain left by the planks used as molds for the exterior can be seen in the concrete.

The Methodist Church congregation was established early in Reno's history in 1868, organized by Reverend Thomas McGrath.
