The Methodist Episcopal Church of Winooski, known today as the Winooski United Methodist Church, is known for its striking Carpenter Gothic architecture. The congregation was formally organized in 1847 and had raised sufficient funds by 1860 to build a church on the present site. That church burned down in 1917, and the present church was built the following year in 1918.
The church stands on the southwest corner of West Allen and Follett Streets. The key features of the church include the lancet-arched porches at the corners, the large lancet stained-glass window at the center, and the square tower rising through the left side of the roof. It is a significant local example of vernacular Carpenter Gothic architecture and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 2001.
