"We invite you to join us on Sundays! Two different style worship services take place in our beautiful sanctuary. If you love to worship with a more informal setting, then you will want to choose the 8:15 a.m hour. If you love the wonders of a beautiful pipe organ and a Chancel choir, then 10:30 a.m. is your hour. Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m for ALL ages." ~ First United Methodist Church

"The Pulaski Courthouse Square Historic District is comprised of 92 buildings in a nine block area around the 1909 Giles County Courthouse, These buildings are primarily commercial, date from the 1860's to 1930's and exhibit in their facade detailing a variety of architectural influences, from the Italianate to the Art Deco styles. Of brick construction, the buildings range from one to three stories with the majority being two stories in height, The upper stories of the commercial buildings retain a high degree of integrity with most of their architectural embellishments intact. The first-story storefronts of many buildings, however, have been altered extensively, eighteen buildings do not contribute to the historical character of the district because they have been altered to the point that their architectural integrity is lost or they are relatively new, undistinguished buildings.

"The appearance of the district has not changed significantly from that period. It is still dominated at its center by the Giles County Courthouse, one of the state's finest Beaux Arts buildings and one which has undergone almost no alterations from its date of construction. Although the first-story facades of many commercial buildings within the district have been altered, the majority of upper stories retain a high degree of their original architectural integrity. Facing the northwest corner of the square is the First United Methodist Church, which is the largest and best example of Victorian Gothic architecture in Pulaski and Giles County." ~ NRHP Nomination From
