Sardis Methodist Church, Atlanta.

It is believed that this site has had continuous religious services since 1812, although the exact date is unknown. Architect Owen J. Southwell designed the current building in 1925 with the builder being George M. Spruill, a Sardis member. Construction was completed in 1927. Due to storm damage in 1965, the steeple was damaged. Too costly to repair at the time, in 1995 the Sardis Church steeple was restored in the original Georgian-style by architect J.B. Satterfield, and the old church bell which had been out of use since 1965 was restored to service. Photo from our 2023 Atlanta Spring Ramble.
