The Sam Jones Memorial United Methodist Church at 100 W. Church St. in Cartersville, Georgia was built in 1907. It was designed by Atlanta architect Walter T. Downing. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
The church was deemed significant architecturally as a "fine example of a church built in the Classical Revival Style exemplified by the use of a full entablature and portico."[2] It is also notable for its association with one of the county's oldest Methodist churches, and for its namesake Sam P. Jones.[2]
It is named for Sam Jones (1847-1906), native of Cartersville, and buried in Cartersville, was an evangelist who preached across the United States. After his sudden death during the construction of their new church, the Cartersville Methodist Episcopal Church South renamed itself in his honor.[3]
