A
photograph
of
Edgefield
Baptist
Church
located
at
700
Russell
Street
in the
historic
neighborhood
of
Edgefield
in
Nashville
,
Tennessee
. The
congregation
was
first
organized
in
1867
with
thirty-one
members
.
Construction
on this
church
began
in
1905
and the
first
service
was
held
inside
the
sanctuary
in
1907
.
Adjoining
educational
facilities
were
added
in
1948
. The
building
plans
were
drawn
by
Wheeler
,
Runge
, and
Dickey
, and the
architectural
style
is
consistently
Gothic
throughout
the
exterior
and
interior
. The
church
has
towers
at
each
corner
and a
gable
bay
with a
large
window
at the
center
of
each
street
facade
.
All
of the
door
and
window
openings
have
pointed
arches
. The
foundation
of the
church
is
made
of
stone
,
while
the
exterior
walls
are
brick
. The
roof
is
comprised
of
asphalt
shingles
, and the
windows
are
stained
glass
. A
unique
feature
of the
interior
is
the
solid
wooden
door
separating
the
two
auditoriums
. The
door
can
be
raised
and
lowered
by
means
of
cables
,
operated
by an
electric
