The 1872 church was built to house the Broadway Methodist Church. By 1920, it was the largest non-Catholic Czech congregation in Cleveland, and one of the richest. A wealthy member paid several artists to travel to Italy in 1957 to measure and study the Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper and paint a life-size copy over the altar at Broadway Methodist. The replica remains the largest and most accurate Last Supper in the United States.
Broadway Methodist closed in 2010.
