Dodson Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church

The Goddard United Methodist Church formerly the Dodson Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, is a historic church at 1922 Dodson Avenue in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The church building is an imposing Late Gothic stone structure, built in 1930 to a design by the local architectural firm of Haralson & Nelson. The congregation for which it was built was founded in 1908, and worshipped in a wood-frame church at this site prior to the construction of the present edifice. In October 1945 the church was renamed the Goddard Memorial Methodist Church in honor of a recent pastor, Dr. O. E. Goddard. The church complex includes, in addition to the church, a children's building, fellowship hall, and office building.^[2]
