Identified through on-line information from James C. Burke, Ph.D.. -- First Methodist Church (Front Street Methodist) in Wilmington, NC was consumed by fire in 1886. A new church building was built at a better location, 4th. and Mulberry (now Grace) streets. Grace Methodist Church was ready for services in August of 1887, and a new organ was delivered in late 1889. It was replaced in 1902. Sources: Wilmington Messenger, 20 August 1887, 8 November 1889; Wilmington Morning Star, 9 December 1890.
