Woodside Methodist Episcopal Church is significant as a well-preserved example of nineteenth-century church architecture and as an element of local history that documents the growth of religious and social movements in the late nineteenth century. This small Gothic Revival church was constructed in 1889 by the Woodside community who contracted the work to Townsend and Bro.
