Inscription. The United Brethern [sic] Church building and bell tower were built in 1874. By 2004 the original wooden bell house had been modified to remove the gothic gables. In 2007, a [sic] appropriate, but not original gothic steeple was built on the original 1874 timbers and brick bell tower, to house a stealth communications antenna. This historic church now First United Methodist continues to be a vital link between historic Springboro, modern Springboro, the spirituality of the residents, and the Great State of Ohio.
