United States Department of the Interior <br />National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form <br />NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 <br /> <br />Lowell Heights-Olivet African Methodist <br />Episcopal Church <br /> St. Joseph County, IN <br />Name of Property County and State <br />Section 7 page 7 <br /> <br />shingles (centered over the porch). The bay is supported by five wood corbels and it has a pair of <br />small 1/1 wood windows centered in its front wall. While the double-gabled projecting bay on <br />the south façade lacks windows in its east-facing wall, the bay on the north façade features a row <br />of three 1/1 wood windows in the first and second story of its east-facing wall. The windows <br />have stone sills and lintels of soldier brick. The second story window features a shed dormer <br />roof. There are two wood windows divided into nine panes in the basement of the east-facing <br />wall. <br /> <br />The west (back) façade is divided into four bays (left side of photo 0003). The southernmost bay <br />features a row of three 1/1 wood windows in the first and second story. The windows have stone <br />sills and lintel of soldier brick on the first story. The bay has two basement windows; one is <br />divided into nine panes and the other is new and features a single pane. The northern two bays <br />feature two 1/1 windows in their first and second stories. The windows have stone sills and the <br />first story windows feature lintels of solider brick. Each bay features two wood basement <br />windows divided into nine panes; the northernmost bay’s basement windows are slightly taller. <br />The remaining bay features a tall gable (extension of the nave) and has no windows on the first <br />and second story. It has a narrow slit wood window in the top of the gable and four basement <br />windows. The basement windows are wood and divided into twelve panes; the middle two <br />windows are paired together and are casements. Two square shafts of brick form chimneys <br />flanking the gable near the ridge of the cross gables extending south and north. The chimneys are <br />capped with concrete. <br /> <br /> <br />Interior <br /> <br />The interior is arranged with a vestibule, or narthex, in the east end which is flanked by <br />staircases on the south, which leads to a grade-level entry (south side of building), basement, and <br />balcony, and on the north, which leads to the balcony. See photo 0006 for narthex. A toilet room <br />is also on the north side of the narthex. A pair of doors flanked by pairs of art glass windows <br />separate the narthex from the nave on its west side (see photo 0007 of the nave). The nave is <br />arranged with a central aisle that leads west to a raised platform, altar, and choir loft (photo 0008, <br />0012). A large Gothic arch centered in the west wall forms a deeply-recessed bay for the choir <br />loft and pipe organ. The nave’s roof is supported by a steeply-pitched modified scissor trusses <br />with open framing. Transepts flank the raised platform at the west end of the nave. These have <br />balconies overlooking the nave on the second story. Doorways lead to staircases in the northwest <br />and southwest corners of the nave (one doorway off the west wall of the north transept). The <br />north staircase leads to a formal grade-level entry on the north side of the church as well as the <br />basement and second story. The south staircase leads to a grade-level entry on the south side of <br />the church, as well as the basement and second story. The pastor’s office is off the first story <br />landing in the southwest corner of the church. It has an historic safe tucked into the northeast <br />corner of the room (right side of photo 0010). An adult classroom is off the first story landing in <br />the northwest corner of the church (photo 0009). It has a fireplace centered in its south wall and a <br />closet tucked into the southeast corner of the room. <br />
