ROWAN MUSEUM, COURTHOUSE FACILITY

SALISBURY, NC

Lexington, NC - First Presbyterian Church The First Presbyterian Church in Lexington, NC, was established in 1827.

The present church building was started in 1840.  However, a series of enlargement and remodeling projects have surrounded the 1840 building.

The only remaining part of the original structure is a portion of the north wall of the present sanctuary.

I thought it was a very attractive church with its tall tower containing the entrance.
