Regarding Hartwell Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The present brick structure was constructed in 1897 by plans from the Atlanta architect Willis J. Denny. Didschueneit, a German interior designer from Atlanta, was responsible for the interior woodwork. Tiffany glass windows were made by the W. R. Orr Company of Atlanta. The largest stained glass window is dedicated to John R. Kay, the builder of the first church structure. He died the year this building was completed.
The church is now named Hartwell First United Methodist Church.
