HistoryThe congregation was organized in 1834 by Caleb Ives, a pioneer missionary, and was admitted to parish status in 1838. The first rector was the Rev. John Avery. The wooden Gothic Revival structure was built in 1859 on a Southern plantation to the designs of Richard Upjohn.[1] It was a Methodist church, built on a Southern plantation south of Greensboro in the Antebellum South.[2] After the American Civil War of 1861-1865, the Methodist planter had lost most of his assets.[2] He ran afoul of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South after he built a saloon from the ruins of his plantation house.[2] As a result, he decided to convert the congregation to an Episcopal church and move the building across the Black Warrior River to its present location in 1878.[2][3] Others suggest he had sold alcohol to the Union Army and moved to flee veterans of the Confederate States Army.[2] As of 2017, the church still has congregants.[2] Heritage significanceIt was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 20, 1975.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{NRISref|2008a}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 John Archibald, See what's inside the mystery church in Alabama's Black Belt, The Birmingham News, July 15, 2015 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://magnolia.cyriv.com/GreeneAlGenWeb/History/EarlyGreeneChurches.asp |title=Early Churches of Greene County |accessdate=24 November 2008 |work=Greene County Historical Society }} External links
