First United Methodist Church - Jasper, AL - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The First United Methodist church of Jasper is not your traditional county seat town United Methodist Church. First of all there is a tremendous amount of history in this old church. There is a stained glass dome that occupies most of the ceiling of the sanctuary. There is a large brass plaque on one of the pews that marks the place where President, Franklin D. Roosevelt sat when he attended the funeral of William Brockman Bankhead on September 17, 1940. The exterior of this church also sets it apart. The exterior is white marble. The church sits on the corner in downtown Jasper across the street from the Court House.
