History
Salem Presbyterian Church is a historic church in Washington College, Limestone, Tennessee, affiliated with the Holston Presbytery and Presbyterian Church (USA).[2]
The congregation was formed in 1780 under the leadership of Reverend Samuel Doak.[3] It was the first Presbyterian church established in the area that was later to become the state of Tennessee.[4] The congregation served the adjacent Washington College for many years before becoming a separate congregation.[5]
Construction of the church's current building began in 1894.[3] Its sanctuary has several large stained glass windows.[6] It was designed by architect A. Page Brown.[5]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] It was also included as a contributing property in the Washington College Historic District, which was listed in 2002.[5]
