First Presbyterian Church, Gothic Revival church in Wilmington, United States.
The First Presbyterian Church displays pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and multiple tall spires that define its Gothic Revival architectural design.
After three previous buildings were destroyed by fires, architect Hobart Upjohn designed the current structure, which was completed in 1928.
The church features clerestory windows by Henry Lee Willet depicting scenes from Christ's life, including Creation, Nativity, and Discipleship themes.
The church building maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements during designated visiting hours.
President Woodrow Wilson was a member of this congregation from 1874 to 1885 while his father served as the church pastor.
