First Presbyterian Church

Completed in 1910, First Presbyterian Church in Chattanooga features a grand octagonal sanctuary designed by the famous firm of McKim, Mead, and White.  The original Sunday school wing was designed by the local firm of Bearden & Foreman.  The main entry features six Georgia marble Ionic columns supporting the facade’s grand pediment.  Two large stained glass windows in the church were designed by famed New York artist Edwin Blashfield.  This year the church will celebrate its 100th anniversary of existence on the corner of McCallie Avenue and Douglas Street.

Cordell Hull Bridge

The Cordell Hull Bridge spans the Cumberland River near Carthage in Smith County.  Constructed 1934-36, the bridge is composed of six riveted deck trusses and five deck girder spans.  The majority of the funding for the bridge was provided by the Public Works Administration.  When completed the bridge provided easier access to Carthage, the county seat.  The bridge was fabricated and built by the Vincennes Steel Corporation of Vincennes, Indiana.  Citing the need for repairs the bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in December, 2007.

Dr. Wiley Wagner Vaught Office

Located outside Mountain City, the Dr. Wiley Wagner Vaught Office was used by Dr. Vaught for his medical practice from 1905 until 1915.  This represents a period of time when modern medicine and the regulation of health practices in Tennessee were in their infancy.  Dr. Vaught was among the first formally educated and licensed physicians in Johnson County having been graduated from the Tennessee Medical College.  Architecturally the building is simple and reflects a time when doctors functioned without nurses or elaborate equipment.
