Newlyn Street United Methodist Church is located at 212 East Newlyn Street very near State Street and at the eastern end of McAdoo Heights. It is located close to downtown and between Irving Park and the old mill villages of Greensboro. Newlyn Street UMC has a diverse congregation. The cornerstone, visible in the bottom right-hand corner of the photo, says that the church was completed and dedicated in 2006. Somehow, we're pretty convinced that the church is more than nine years old. Maybe the addition was completed in 2006. If you know, please send us a message. The church has a Facebook page, but not an online history, that we could find.
At any rate, from their Facebook page, it seems like this congregation has some fun traditions, like monthly hotdog and fried pie Saturdays. The white house, to the left in the distance, will give you an idea of the flavor of the neighborhood. Happy Sunday! Happy Father's Day! Happy Longest Day of the Year!
I would think you're right- the addition would date back to that, because the architectural style looks older.
