Regarding Central United Methodist Church. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Thenewly formed Central United Methodist Church hired R.H. Hunt and Company of Chattanooga to design the new church. Reuben H. Hunt (1862-1937) was one of the most widely known architects in the southeast. Having designed several notable buildings around the South, he was known primarily for his designs of churches and public buildings. His designs through time have included several different architectural styles, including Gothic Revival, Romanesque Revival, Beaux Arts, Neo-Classicism and Art Deco. Much of his work in Chattanooga has been placed on the National Register under the Reuben H. Hunt Buildings in Hamilton County Thematic Resources Nomination. Some of his notable buildings include the Hamilton County Courthouse (NR 11/21/78), U.S. Post Office in Chattanooga (NR 02/29/80), Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium (NR 09/15/1980) and Second Presbyterian Church in Chattanooga (NR 02/29/80).
