First Methodist Episcopal Church of Quinton
Quinton, Salem County

Quinton was organized in 1867 although meetings had been held in private homes prior to that date. Their original church building had been purchased from another town and re-erected in Quinton; it served until 1883, when this wood frame building was erected. The silhoutte is sufficient to see that it is in the Gothic Revival mode. A side view of the church would have shown the clerestory—a row of windows above the aisles; that feature is unusual in a small, Protestant church.
