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 9 <br /> <br />The building has dark-stained wood trim floorboards and casings throughout. Door and window <br />casings are fairly simple with flat boards trimmed with narrow boards. The large Gothic arched <br />windows of the nave are recessed into the plaster walls and feature painted tracery and casings <br />(photo 0007). The building has wood doors with historic brass hardware throughout. These range <br />from more formal doors into the nave or in some classrooms with windows of art glass (photos <br />0006, 0009) to simple two-panel doors in classrooms and closets. Doors added to classrooms in <br />the basement and their trim boards are lighter-colored pine, c. 1960. The fireplaces in the <br />classrooms are dark-colored brick with wood mantels. Historic cabinets flank the fireplace in the <br />first story classroom (photo 0009). The staircase balustrades and newel posts are dark-stained <br />wood. The newel posts with flat caps and railings are fairly simple. The balusters are composed <br />of pairs of wood boards at each step sawn to have an open diamond shape near their top (photos <br />0014-0015). The balustrade curves with the opening at each landing in the northwest staircase. <br />The pews in the nave have oak ends with Gothic arched tops and carved recessed panel in each <br />end (photo 0007). Other notable features of the interior include original balcony-style wood seats <br />in the east balcony (photo 0011) and historic toilet partitions composed of wood planks in the <br />basement toilet rooms (photo 0020). The building also features several historic light fixtures in <br />the nave, balconies, classrooms, and landings. The nave’s fixtures are large metal hoops <br />suspended with chains from which several lanterns with art glass shades are suspended (photo <br />0007). The balcony and classroom fixtures are more traditional multi-sided lanterns with art <br />glass shades (photo 0009). Smaller fixtures include simple opal glass shades and metal fittings <br />are located in landings. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
