Grace United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist Church building at 34 Court Street in Keene, New Hampshire.
It was designed by architect Shepard S. Woodcock and built in 1869. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
The church is one of the largest in southwestern New Hampshire. It was built large at cost of $40,000, beyond the means of its parishioners to afford; the congregation was in debt until 1896.[2]
As of November 2010 the Methodists moved to new quarters in the Odd Fellows Hall on Marlboro Street in Keene. The historic church's Steer and Turner organ was removed and sold to a German Catholic church.[3]
