First United Methodist Church of Glendale
First United Methodist Church of Glendale

The First United Methodist Church of Glendale, formerly known as the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Glendale in historical documents, is a United Methodist church located at 7102 N. 58th Dr. in downtown Glendale, Arizona, and was built during 1928–29. Its sanctuary, with its linked administration wing, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 for its architecture.It is an east-facing Gothic Revival style church with a projected entryway through a Gothic arch. A castellated bell tower rises on its north side. It is connected to the south to a previously-built brick administration wing (1923) by an enclosed porch and a loggia. Its exterior walls are brick, with occasional clinker brick accents, and it has cast stone details.The sanctuary was designed by Los Angeles architectural firm G.A. Faithful and L.B. Baker. It was built by local contractor W.M. Mullen "with ample labor provided by church volunteers."The church had previously begun building a different, "elaborate" Gothic Revival sanctuary, designed by local architect M.L. Fitzhugh, but this proved too expensive to complete. The effort was abandoned, and then the work was renovated to provide administrative offices, creating what is now the administration wing.The sanctuary has a gable-end front facing east and is approximately 46 feet (14 m) by 86 feet (26 m); the bell tower at its northeast corner is about 6 feet (1.8 m) by 12 feet (3.7 m); the administration building, one story over a raised basement, is about 60 feet (18 m) by 90 feet (27 m).The sanctuary and administration building combination was listed as First Methodist Episcopal Church of Glendale Sanctuary on the National Register. Other buildings on the property include classrooms, a Fellowship Hall, and utility buildings, none of which are included in the NRHP listing.

Glendale Woman's Club
Glendale Woman's Club

The Glendale Woman's Club was first organized in 1901 as a “Self Culture Club”, the primary aim of the Woman’s Club was self-improvement from a literary standpoint. They raised money for the first library and city parks. In 1898 the lumber company moved to a new two-story office building; Mr. Messenger could no longer manage the library. A library association was formed (as a stock company). The women’s club bought up stock and then assigned members to vote. Mrs. May Catlin Hanson, through club member Mrs. Lafe Myers, donated a building which was placed in park to house the library until a new one could be built. Mrs. Robert Clark and Mrs. J.M. (Mary) Pearson took the lead. Mary took a class on “Library work” in Phoenix to be able to “start it out right.” (Club members managed the library until December 1922, when the City of Glendale took it over). By 1907, membership had increased to fifty members and it became impossible to continue meeting in homes, so the group began to think of acquiring its own clubhouse. On February 21, 1912, exactly 1 week after Arizona became the 48th state, the Club was recognized 501c3 non profit corporation with 85 members. The Glendale Woman's Club is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.The Glendale Woman's Clubhouse, at 7032 N. 56th Ave. in Glendale, Arizona, was built in 1913. In 1912, $5 shares of stock were sold to build one of the first Woman’s Club clubhouses in Arizona. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It was designed by architect Thornton Fitzhugh. The original structure cost $2947. and was constructed with California redwood in the Craftsman style.The clubhouse served as a Sunday meeting place for various church denominations, starting in 1914. It was used by the Red Cross during World War I for making bandages, sewing, and packing supplies.
