O. Barnwell of Rome, Georgia.","why_significant":"The church is argued to be an unusually pure and intact example of Gothic Revival design in a small Georgia town, where plain or Greek Revival churches were typical. It is also notable for being designed by a professional architect. It is the first and only church of Greensboro's small Episcopal congregation, documenting religious diversity in a Baptist- and Methodist-dominated region.","narrative":"Church of the Redeemer is a small Episcopal church at Main and North Streets in Greensboro, Georgia. The Episcopal parish was organized in 1863, and the building was dedicated in June 1868 by Bishop J. W. Beckwith. J. O. Barnwell of Rome, Georgia, served as architect and builder. The wood-frame structure has board-and-batten siding, a central tower with steeple, a steeply pitched gable roof, paired diamond-mullioned windows and a largely intact interior with hand-hewn exposed beams and original chandeliers. A south transept was added in the 1960s. The church matters for two reasons. Its Gothic Revival design is unusually pure for a small Georgia town, where plain or Greek Revival churches were more common, and its design may have drawn on published pattern-book models. It also represents the town's only Episcopal congregation, a small minority in a region dominated by Baptists and Methodists. The building remains in good condition and in religious use.","period_of_significance":"1868","architect_builder":"J. O.
