The sanctuary was completed and dedicated in 1928 to designs by architect Charles H. Hopson.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a fine example of a twentieth-century Gothic church, with a traditional Gothic plan, vaulted ceiling, side aisles and arched windows. It is also the work of Charles H. Hopson, an Atlanta church architect, and holds a large collection of stained glass by William Glasby of England. It is significant in religion as a congregation of the Christian Church, one of Georgia's smaller denominations.","narrative":"Peachtree Christian Church, at 1580 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, is a red-brick Gothic church with limestone corner quoining and limestone-framed openings. Its sanctuary, bell tower, chapel and education wing sit on land given by furniture dealer Amos G. Rhodes, who paid for the building and died in 1928, just before its completion and dedication. Architect Charles H. Hopson, an English-born Atlanta designer known for churches and a member of the congregation, laid out the nave on the historic Gothic plan, with a vaulted ceiling, side aisles and arched windows. More than half of the nave wall space is stained glass, handmade by William Glasby of London over about twenty-five years, and the collection is described as unusually unified in style. The congregation belongs to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a smaller denomination in Georgia. A chapel was added in 1949 and an education wing in 1964, with few other changes.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Charles H.
