The First Congregational Church and Parish House in Memphis, Tennessee are a historic church and parish house on a single lot at 234 S. Watkins Street. The Georgian Revival-style church is a high one-story church which was built in 1910.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
It was deemed "significant both as a fine example of the Georgian Revival style and as the work of prominent Memphis architect Walk Claridge Jones, Sr. A regional leader in the profession, Jones abhorred modem architecture, preferring instead a simplified classical style. The First Congregational Church, with its Ionic portico, rectangular plan and symmetrical fenestration, illustrates this philosophy."[2]
