Old Stone Church Tower - Downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee

While it’s no longer a full church, there still remains an old church steeple on Georgia Avenue that serves as a reminder of Chattanooga’s first Methodist church. Known by many as “Stone Church”, the now-historically marked church was one of the earliest stone buildings in Chattanooga. After growing in size for many years, First Methodist Church eventually joined Centenary Methodist Church to become what is now First-Centenary United Methodist Church. After merging in 1967, most of the stone church was demolished in 1977. The steeple in the photograph above is what remains.

At the remaining steeple is a marker that reads: “This tower, steeple and wall were part of the First Methodist Church started in 1881 and dedicated in 1885 by the congregation. Worship services were held here until January 1967 when the congregation merged with Centenary Methodist Church.”

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 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
