Evangelical Protestant Church. . The first church in the City of Cullman was established on this block of land donated by the North and South Railroad in February 1874.

John Cullman, land agent, was a charter member of the church. The church building was made into a dwelling house after the congregation moved to a new location, 512 Second Avenue East, in 1881 where the church became known as St. John’s Evangelical Protestant Church.
