Alabama Methodist Church

Alabama Methodist Church is a plain building, and that is why it counts. The 1895 frame church has a central tower with an open belfry, five four-over-four windows down each side and a small window on each side of the tower's first level. By the time of its 1995 National Register listing the tower leaned slightly to the right. Services stopped in the 1960s. The Bernice Bicentennial Committee saved the church in 1976, the Alabama Methodist Church Corporation followed, and in 1994 ownership passed to the Bernice Historical Society.
