Description: 5246 Broadway Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. The building is a contributing property to the Broadway Avenue Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. 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.
