Historic Franklin Presbyterian Church - Franklin, Tennessee

Gideon Blackburn organized the First Presbyterian Church in Franklin in 1811 and built the first church on a lot north of the City Cemetery on Fourth Avenue. By 1842, the church purchased this lot and built the first of three sanctuaries at this location. The first sanctuary, made of brick with slave galleries, was badly damaged after the Union Army used it as a field hospital after the Battle of Franklin. By 1887, a new church was built that looked just like the current building. That building burned to the ground in 1905 and was rebuilt to look just like its predecessor. First Presbyterian Church moved to Franklin Road two miles north of Franklin in 1995 and Historic Presbyterian Church now is at this location.

While this specific building and grounds is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is within an area of Downtown Franklin that is listed on the register as the Franklin Historic District and was originally listed on 10/5/1972.

Image was taken during my trek to photograph all 95 county courthouses across my home state of Tennessee...now revisiting in order that the courthouses were photographed!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
