First United Methodist Church (DeRidder, Louisiana)

First United Methodist Church is a historic church located at the junction of North Pine Street and West Port Street in DeRidder, Louisiana. The two story Classical Revival tan brick building was built in 1915 and is now part of a church complex occupying an entire city block. The facade portico with Ionic columns and the glass windows have unchanged since the time of construction, and the church exterior is very well preserved. A new church was built in the 1960s on the southern portion of the block and the historic church interior was deeply altered in order to host a basketball court.[2]
