Description
Rickety log structure with these words on the photograph: Erected in 1817. Torn down in 1890. This building was used as one of the first churches in Evansville. First Presbyterian Church began in 1821 as the first religious community in the pioneer town of Evansville, Indiana. Today, as a result of unions and reunions of three congregations, First Pres stands as a united witness of varied backgrounds worshiping together and serving the Evansville community. The church�s first building was a log house, built in 1817, on First Street between Oak and Mulberry Streets in downtown Evansville. In 1832, the Little Church on the Hill was constructed on Second Street where the former Strouse and Brothers building now stands (a commemorative plaque is attached to the structure). The church�s current building was dedicated in 1874 and has been in constant use ever since. (http://firstpresevansville.com/who-we-are/where-we-came-from/) The current church is at 609 SE 2nd St.
