Safety Harbor in Pinellas County, Florida — The American South (South Atlantic)
Safety Harbor Historical Site: Presbyterian Church
The first church bulletin was printed (in a quantity of 5) on April 8, 1951. In 1952, another building was constructed and used for three additional Sunday school rooms. A bathroom was added as well.
During the pastorate of Dr. Ralph Scott (1954-1956), the small wood-framed church building was moved to the corner of 5th Avenue and 3rd Street facing 5th Avenue. This became the Fellowship Hall. The present sanctuary was constructed, with the first service held on Easter Sunday 1956.
Erected by Community Redevelopment Agency and the Safety Harbor Museum of Regional History.
