While officially organized in 1835, College Church has represented a continuing Presbyterian presence in the community for over two centuries, as far back as 1775.  The current Greek Revival building was constructed in 1860-61 by architect Robert Lewis Dabney, with a modern addition constructed in 2001-2002.
