This brick Gothic Revival Church was designed by Wilson architect Solon Balias Moore and constructed by Jones Brothers in 1920.  The Church is presently occupied.  In addition to the unique rehabilitation plan for this structure, restoration work will include deferred maintenance.   

The structure follows the traditional gable roofed cruciform plan and fronts on Green Street.  The façade features a narthex that contains a deeply recessed arched double-door entryway and pairs of small lancet-shaped stained-glass windows.   Above the entrance is a large tripe lancet window framed with brick spires.  Stair-stepped buttresses extend from the spires to both sides. 

The Jackson Street elevation features pairs of stained-glass windows enframed by buttresses and a triple-lancet window in the transept.  On the front corner, a side entrance to the balcony projects with doors matching those on the front.  The building’s right façade repeats most of the Jackson Street elements.  The rear façade features two single-lancet windows and an ornate central rose window.  Noteworthy elements are the hand-wrought iron door hinges, the decorative stone-capped parapets, and the arched corbelled surrounds that contain the doors.

This Landmark offers 50% reduction on your property taxes and qualifies the structure for the Historic Tax Credits. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the commercial and cultural district.  Wilson is 40 minutes to Raleigh, two hours to the beach and five hours to the mountains.
