Nelson Baptist Church in Pickens County

 It was constructed in 1912, but the congregation goes back to at least 1885, probably earlier because the town was founded in 1843. The railroad came thru in 1883 and made it possible to easily transport marble from the large deposits here and this gave rise to the large marble quarries in the area.
