Ridgely Church is a one-story, front gabled structure with pointed-arch
windows with commemorative stained glass. It is bordered by a small
graveyard with handsome primitively carved stones. The present building was
constructed in 1921 to replace the original church founded by Lewis Ridgely
in 1871 that was destroyed by fire. Lewis Ridgely was one of three original
church trustees. Succeeding generations of Ridgelys remained active in the
church and community. In order to accommodate the widening of Central
Avenue in the late 1980s, the church was moved a short distance north,
renovated and stabilized.
