History and description

[edit]

The Linvale United Methodist Church, historically known as the New Market Methodist Episcopal Church, was built in 1858 following the Wren–Gibbs church building tradition. The one-story frame building features Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. There is a square bell tower with a gable roof in the front center.[3] The congregation was formed in 1844.[4] The former New Market Store in Linvale was first built around 1770 and rebuilt in 1866. The two-story brick building has a gable-fronted roof and shows Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. A late 18th-century or early 19th-century grist mill in Snydertown has been converted into a residence.[3]
