Regarding Peachtree Christian Church. Excerpt
this page online
The Peachtree Christian Church is significant in architecture as a fine example of a twentieth-century Gothic-styled church whose sanctuary or nave is built on the historic Gothic floor plan and includes a vaulted ceiling, side aisles, arched window openings, ribs and bosses, all characteristic elements of this style. Local materials, such as brick, were used rather than the stone that would have been used in Medieval times. It is also significant in architecture as a work of Charles H. Hopson (1865-1941) of Atlanta, an English-born architect who was best known in Atlanta and other cities for his ecclesiastical structures.
The church is significant in art for its large collection of English stained glass made by William Glasby. He flourished in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a glass painter and stained-glass designer in England. Such a large collection created by one artist or studio gives the glass a unity of style and subject matter that other churches do not have.
