Built in 1860, this two-story brick structure in Rutledge Hill was known as Elm Street Methodist Church for over one hundred years. The building was seized by Union forces for use as a hospital during the Civil War. The ornate clock tower cupola of the church was destroyed by fire in 1925, and the damaged front was rebuilt without this original feature.
