Regarding Elm Street Methodist Church. Excerpt from the National Register nomination for the Nineteenth Century

Elm Street Methodist Church is architecturally significant as the only standing example of an Italianate-style church building in Nashville. Despite the loss of its tower in a 1925 fire the building's hooded, arched windows and doors and its wide overhangs with classical cornices impart the strong flavor of the Italianate style. Elm Street was at one time an important Methodist church in Nashville. Formed in 1867 by the combination of two Methodist congtegatiqns dating to the 1830s, Elm Street was the second largest Methodist church in Nashville during South Nashville's heyday with over 1200 members. Declining membership eventually led to its disbandment in 1971.
