Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church
Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is a church building that traces its beginnings to 1869. In that year, church trustees purchased a vacant lot for their church and completed a frame building. The site has since undergone architectural changes to its appearance, including alterations made in 1881. During that period, James F. Hutchisson was hired to design a new facade for the building, and the facade was redesigned in the Gothic Revival style. This location is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, having been added to the register on May 29, 1987. Visitors can see the results of these early efforts and the specific Gothic Revival influence that James F. Hutchisson brought to the facade during the late nineteenth century. The building remains a physical record of the trustees' work that began with the purchase of a vacant lot in 1869.
