1884. 213 N. Central Ave.

Of Tazewell's several late-nineteenth-century frame Gothic Revival churches, this is the most picturesque. The single-nave church is sheltered under a steeply pitched roof whose shape is repeated in the central gabled portico. A circular window in the gable of the portico is echoed in the quatrefoil window in the gable of the nave. The church is crowned at the front with a multigabled louvered belfry with a diminutive spire. The nave is covered by a pointed-arched roof and illuminated by stained glass windows.
