The Walnut Street Methodist Episcopal Church was chartered in 1873, and merged with Emmanuel Assocation January 1, 1969 to become the First United Methodist Church.
The 1855 building was moved to a site on 200 block of West Grand River Avenue to make way for the next building about 1890. That building on Grand River Avenue was used for a multitude of community purposes including a gymnasium and a manufacturing place. It was last occupied by Wickman Wire Works. (See item 10143, "200 Block of West Grand River").

It served the congregation until December 14, 1969, when they moved to a new home, 1230 Bower Street, Howell, Michigan. The reasons for building a new church were a growing congregation, and aging, outdated infrastructure. The new building was consecrated on February 8, 1970. Rev. Allan G. Gray was the last pastor to serve in that building. -
