Laura Street, Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. The 1902-1903, Late Gothic Revival Style church is built of gray granite. The two-story church has a basement, and the sanctuary portion is one-floor with high ceilings. The irregular foot-print is built close to the lot-line of the downtown property. Located on a corner, a prominent feature to the building and neighborhood is a square engaged crenellated tower at the northeast corner, steep roofs, Gothic pointed windows with stained and leaded glass, and a rose window above the main entrance. SETTING The Snyder Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church is located on the southeast corner of North Laura and West Monroe Streets, south of Hemming Plaza in downtown Jacksonville (Photo # 1). Situated in a 1920s commercial district, the church faces east-southeast. The buildings in this area range from two- story commercial structures to the first Chicago Style skyscrapers in Jacksonville (Photo #2). City Hall at St. James, on the opposite side of Hemming Plaza, was the first large-scale adaptive use project in downtown; the city rehabilitated the St. James department store for use as City Hall in 1998. The church is four blocks north of the St. Johns River and the Main Street bridge. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION This Gothic Revival Style church is brick construction faced with rubble Georgia granite.
