Description:	On slide mount: 1502 N. New Jersey St. Yes The Former Central Universalist Church (Now North New Jersey Street Church of God)1502 North New Jersey Street1898This asbestos covered church may have had a very different stylistic look when originally constructed. There are traces of Stick Style ornamentation in the south gable. That and the simple lancet form of the windows may indicate the original simplicity of the building. It was built on a lot donated by John Herron. Herron, along with Horace McKay and others were primarily responsible for the establishment of a Universalist Church in the city.The first structure at this stie was a one-story stucco building erected in 1894. It was destroyed by fire. The church was rebuilt in 1898 only to be again damaged by fire the following year. This damage was repaired and in 1914, the church was remodeled to its present appearance.Old Northside Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1979 single-family dwelling
