| Built in 1854, Sand Springs Presbyterian Church is a rare surviving example of double-entrance wood-frame vernacular rural churches of the antebellum period in Mississippi. This vernacular form was favored for small rural churches, especially by Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian congregations, from the 1830s into the 1870s, with a few examples built as late as the turn-of-the-century. This building was listed on the the National Register on 25 February 1993. This church is included in "Thy Dwellings Fair: Churches of Saint Andrew Presbytery" (2000). |
