First Methodist Episcopal Church (also known as Friendship Hall) is a historic Methodist church at 3rd Street and Lead Avenue in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1904 to replace an earlier adobe church on the same site, which the congregation had outgrown. The earlier church, built in 1880–2, was the first church in New Town but had become inadequate by the turn of the century and was torn down.^[3] The new stone church was dedicated on January 8, 1905. It was itself replaced by a larger sanctuary in 1955 but remains in use by the church as a general-purpose space.^[4] The building was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975^[5] and the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.^[1]
