Additional Description: Built in 1901, this polychrome Romanesque Revival edifice was designed by famed architect Reuben Harrison Hunt of Chattanooga, Tennessee and constructed by C.C. ("Cam") David at a cost of $12,000. The church commands a full city block. The asymmetrical building rises from a lower facade of natural granite to white crick facing its left one story turret, recessed center and right three-story square bell tower. Terra cotta belt courses encircle the bell tower below and above two narrow windows on the second floor. The belfry design, on each elevation, four narrow arched openings below a tiled pyramid roof with corner tiled pinnacles. Additions to the church since 1930 extent the rear and right rear of the building. (Newberry Historic District National Register Nomination Form, 1974)
