First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro

From the church's website: In 1859 the Presbyterians bought the land at the present location and built a church out of handmade bricks. During the Civil War the church was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers. The church burned in 1869. The pulpit furniture and Bible were the only things saved. Reconstruction began in 1873, and continued, as money was available. Worship was held in the present church building when it was suitable. In 1893 the steeple and bell were added with the building remaining as it is today.
