Second Presbyterian Church
Second Presbyterian Church, Gothic Revival church in downtown Richmond, United States.
The Second Presbyterian Church on North Fifth Street features a brick exterior, lancet windows, and a square pinnacled tower exemplifying Gothic Revival architecture.
Architect Minard Lafever completed this church in 1848, creating his only commission in the Southern United States during the pre-Civil War period.
The church established six additional Presbyterian congregations in Richmond and supported labor reforms and educational opportunities for women and children in the early 1900s.
The church offers Sunday services, youth programs, and adult education classes, with a nursery available for children from 9:30 AM to 12:15 PM.
Ivy from Westminster Abbey, brought by Minister Moses Drury Hoge after preaching to Queen Victoria, continues to grow around the church foundation.
