Five picture postcards featuring this church building exist in this collection. It was built in 1906 as the First Methodist Church, housing a congregation founded in 1869, said to be the first protestant church in San Diego County. In subsequent times it was known as the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Since 1964 this congregation has been located in Mission Valley on Camino del Rio South as the First United Methodist Church, San Diego. The Methodist Episcopal Church was one of the three branches of American Methodism that came together to form "The Methodist Church" in 1939, a group that merged with the Evangelical United Brethren Church in 1968 to form the United Methodist Church. In 2013 this building does not exist at its former location at the corner of Ninth Avenue and C Street, San Diego, and the entire block is listed among the "100 Lost Buildings" in San Diego by the Save Our Heritage Organisation. On the back of this card is a logo of the Panama-California Exposition of 1915. The Curt Teich number on the back of the card is A-8827, decoding to the years 1908-1910.
