First Presbyterian Church. Listed as 312 Lincoln in HJAC.
Architect - Adolphus Heiman (Austrian), Nashville (has several similar 1850's tower-churches extant in mid-Tennessee.) It is said that Heiman did not want the spire. (His Tennessee 1850's Gothic Churches w/crenelated towers did not have spires, nor did most churches in the 1850s.) The church fathers were competing for height with the new 1859 Episcopal Church. The spire blew down in 1878 (newspaper article). Perhaps it was not anchored as well as the architect could have done! Various restorations & interior remodeling project by J&H Archs., H.J. (HJAC - '97)
