Highland Park United Methodist Church, Protestant church in Highland Park, Dallas, United States.
The Highland Park United Methodist Church is a Protestant church in the Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas, Texas, built in the Gothic Revival style. The structure is made of stone, with pointed arches, towers, and interior stained glass windows that cast colored light across the nave.
The church was completed in 1941 to designs by Mark Lemmon, an architect known for bringing Gothic forms from the northeastern United States to Texas. Its construction coincided with a period of rapid growth in Highland Park, and the building has anchored the neighborhood's skyline since then.
The church sits at the heart of Highland Park, one of Dallas's most established neighborhoods, and plays a visible role in the social life of the area. Services and events draw people from across the district, making this a gathering point that goes well beyond Sunday mornings.
The church is easy to find in the Highland Park neighborhood and has parking available nearby. It is worth checking ahead for service times, as the building is regularly in use throughout the week.
Mark Lemmon was the same architect behind the campus buildings of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, giving him an outsized influence on the look of the city's wealthier northern districts. His work on this church and on the university shows how one designer can leave a consistent visual mark across an entire part of a city.
