| Historical Overview: | This brick Gothic Revival structure was designed by Edward C. Jones in 1859, two years after Daniel Blake (whose home housed worshippers) donated land for the site. In 1934, with the exception of one tower, the church burned to the ground. Four years later. the church was rebuilt in the same style. In the 1920s, the grounds became a site for memorial gravestones, bearing the names of some of the South's greatest historical leaders. |
