Estill Presbyterian Church
Front:
This church was founded in 1898 by residents of Estill and Lawtonville who were members of distant Presbyterian churches and desired to organize a congregation here. It held its first services in a school on Fourth St. The first permanent church, a frame building, was built here in 1909 on land donated by Sumpter Mills Clarke.
Reverse:
Temporary, or stated supply, pastors served here 1898-1955. Among the most notable was Dr. Paul Frederick Brown, who served here 1912-1923. Dr. Frank B. Estes became the first full-time minister in 1955. The church burned during services in 1934. This Classical Revival church, built 1934-37, opened in 1937 and was completed after World War II.
