"St. Anne's Episcopal Church is a Late Victorian Gothic Revival style structure built in 1886 of native limestone. The 1954
Anna Garden Club Tour Notes state the church to be "the oldest original church in Anna, as well as the most picturesque. The church was built from the stone from the quarries of the Anna Stone Co." The church also has elements of early Queen Anne architecture as evidenced in the decorative wood trim on the exterior. Nestled on a narrow 37-foot lot in the middle of a two-block stretch of stately, turn-of-the century homes, the quaint building with its steeply gabled roof attracts much attention from the passers-by who are rushing through downtown Anna on State Highway 146." -
