The trustees of the Gothic Revival-style North Broadway Church originally planned to use stone, but because it was too costly, they used brick instead. When the church relocated from Como Ave., the congregation marched to the new site carrying bibles, pews and other church fixtures. Church Architect Boyd Martin lived nearby at 190 East North Broadway, and his Gothic Revival home also featured many of the same materials as the church. Martin also built homes for his mother, at 256 East North Broadway, and sister, at 155 East North Broadway.
The Church parking lot was once home to 2 large brick homes built in the late 1800s. 62 East North Broadway was originally owned by John Roberts whose wife was very involved in the Clinton League -- a local organization focused on developing a community from the rough country side. The other home at 74 was owned by Dr. Charles Harrod who, in the 1920s, became the first King Kleagle or recruiter of the Franklin County Ku Klux Klan, a title also held by the late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
