Center Methodist Church, National Register historic church in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
The rectangular Center Methodist Church features a restored 100-foot steeple, large bronze bell, and traditional New England Protestant architectural elements.
Built in 1860 for $22,000, this structure was the largest Methodist church in the United States, accommodating 900 people in 128 pews.
The building transformed from a religious center to an art museum in 1958 and later became the Provincetown Public Library in 2005.
Located at 356 Commercial Street, the structure maintains its original grand staircases and vaulted ceilings while functioning as a public library.
Inside the building stands a half-scale replica of the Rose Dorothea, a fishing schooner that won the Lipton's Cup in 1907.
