Shelbyville First Presbyterian Church
In 1854, William H Gosling designed this two story building in the Greek Revival ecclesiastical style. The congregation organized in 1810. Today, the building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
During the civil war, the building was used as a hospital, but worship services continued. Confederate General Braxton Bragg attended a revival here in 1863.
