Epworth Hall, Historic Methodist hall in Gainesville, Florida.

The red brick building at 419 Northeast 1st Street features Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches and detailed stained glass windows.

Built in 1884 as the Academic Building of East Florida Seminary, Epworth Hall served as temporary quarters for the University of Florida until 1911.

The structure represents a significant period in Florida's educational development, functioning as both a religious and academic center for the community.

Visitors need to contact First United Methodist Church for access to the building, which continues to host community events and religious gatherings.

The building survived a transition from seminary to university use before being transferred to the Methodist Church, maintaining its original architectural elements.
