This iconic church was originally located in the nearby village of Pennington. (It was later donated to Andersonville and moved here and restored by the Andersonville Guild). It was one of several rural churches established by the Reverend James Bolan Lawrence. It was designed by the firm of Ralph Adams Cram, better known for buildings of a much grander scale. Cram is sometimes referred to as the father of Neo-Gothic architecture in America.

Cram’s connection to this church comes through his work with First Presbyterian Church in Americus.
