Burke, Ph.D.. -- On 25 February 1886, a fire started at the steamboat wharf east of the church that destroyed many blocks of structures on the northeast side of Wilmington. First Methodist (Front Street Methodist) on the corner of Front and Walnut was destroyed. The only building left standing on the block was the Methodist parsonage. The first Methodist Church on this site was destroyed in Wilmington's "Great Fire of 1843." The congregation rebuilt at Fourth & Mulberry and sold the Front Street lots. The church was renamed Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. Source: Sprunt, James. Chronicles of the Cape Fear River, 1660-1916. Edwards & Broughton, 1916. 537, 630. The organs of First Methodist (Front Street Methodist) & Grace Methodist belong to the history of the same congregation. -Database Manager
