First Presbyterian Church (Hot Springs, Arkansas)

The First Presbyterian Church is a historic church at 213 Whittington Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a large stone building, designed by Charles L. Thompson in Late Gothic Revival style and built in 1907. It has a square tower with pronounced buttressing at the corners set on the right side of its front facade, and a lower tower at the left side, with a gabled entry section at the center. The entrance is set in a broad lancet-arched opening, and is topped in the gable by a three-part stained glass window. The main sanctuary space is set perpendicular to the main facade, with a large stained glass window set in a recessed round-arch panel at the end. An entrance into the tunnels underneath hot springs is also located here.[2]
