"The Church of the Nativity Episcopal located on Eustis Ave. was organized in December 1842. This photo shows a funeral outside the building, which was constructed in 1859, and is still in use today. Considered a fine example of Gothic revival architecture in the South, it was designed by architects Frank Wills and Henry Dudley of New York and cost $37,500. The spire reaches 151 feet tall. The original church building and present church stood side by side until the orginial was razed in 1878."Date: unknownRights: Alabama Mosaic; Huntsville Madison County Public Library
