Additional Information: | The North Presbyterian Church is a simple frame structure characterized by a agble roof and a variety of window shapes - round, pointed arch, and double hung. The North Presbyterian Church was organized in 1916 following a city-wide evangelistic campaign conducted by Rev. James Rayburn. The congregation initially used the Fay Street Chapel (Fay Street, 5L/9) but in 1923 the present structure was erected and the Fay Street building sold (B). |
