The Evangelical United Brethren Church is a former church and a historic building at 409 N. Maple in Watertown, South Dakota. It was built in 1914, affiliated with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ until around 1946, when a merger formed the Evangelical United Brethren Church. The structure was sold in 1957 to the Seventh-day Adventists, who let the congregation share it while their new church was built at 305 9th Ave NE; then, when the same congregation built a new structure in 2002, it sold its 1957 structure to the Seventh-day Adventists as well.[2] It is now a private residence.

The building was added to the National Register in 1989..Com[1]

Its most salient feature is a castellated two-story tower. It has decorative brick and concrete false buttresses.[3]
