First Congregational Church Historic Structure


First Congregational Church Historic Structure is also known as the First Church and United Church of Christ. The church was designed by Arthur Greene Everett in 1908. The church is located at 105 Courtland Street Northwest, Atlanta, Georgia. As a religious building it has a stone, brick, tile, and ceramic construction. It was listed in the national register of historical places as of 1979.

The formation of the church was long before the building. It was founded in 1846. The church was responsible for sending missionaries in during and after the Civil War. For years it was a church of missionaries helping out those in need including building a school called Storrs School Chapel. The chapel was used until 1877. In 1894 the church had its first African American Pastor, Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor.

The historic site can be toured by going to the above address. It is a historically significant site and structure given the length of time the First Congregational Church has existed. The church has seen various pastors over the years and continues to work for the community. Tour times are not available, but since the structure is open to the public one can visit the exterior on a daily basis.
