The First Methodist Episcopal Church in Stillmore, Georgia, also known as Stillmore United Methodist Church and as Stillmore Methodist Episcopal Church South, was built in 1907. A fire on December 15, 1915, destroyed all but the exterior walls of the church, and in 1916 it was rebuilt to the original plans with minor exception.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
It was designed by architect Charles Edward Choate in Romanesque Revival style. The 1907 church and parsonage cost $7,500; their reconstruction in 1916 cost $10,000. The church was deemed "an excellent example of the early work of Charles Edward Choate" and "an excellent example of the use of the Romanesque Revival style in Georgia."[2]
The parsonage was sold by the church in 1994; it was moved to a new location but was later dismantled and its materials were incorporated into a new house.[2]
