5 Churches Occupy Eight
Blocks on Denton Street
They call it Denton street, but a better name would be Church
avenue.
Within eight blocks, from the 400 block north on Denton to the
400 block south, there are five churches, the First Presbyterian, First
Methodist, First Baptist, Christian Science, and Bible Presbyterian.
Until two years ago, there was a sixth church, the Southern
Presbyterian.
The churches together have a--

Surprise Social
Honors Mr., Mrs.
Ralph Buckingham
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bucking-
ham were complimented with a
reception and social on the occa-
sion of their silver wedding an-
niversary and her birthday Wed-
I nesday evening at their home, 903
I South Denton street.
The party was a surprise for
Mrs. Buckingham. Approximate-
ly 40 friends of the couple gath-
ered and decorated the house
with early summer flowers, gladi-
oli, cosmos, zinnias, magnolias
and Texas plume, in their ab-
sence.
When Mr. and Mrs. Bucking-
ham returned home, the wedding
march was played as they walked
up the steps to the door. Many
lovely gifts, including silver
nieces in Mrs. Buckingham’s
chosen pattern, were presented
to be opened and displayed.
A sing-song of popular roman-
tic tunes at the time the couple
was married were enjoyed. The
couple was taken to the - dining
room, where the reception was
held. Dr. C. H. Morris, pastor of
the First Christian church of-
fered prayer before refreshments
were served.
The table was covered with a
lace cloth and centered with an
effective arrangement of gladioli
in a crystal container. Candles
flanked the centerpiece. Lime
punch was served from one end
of the table.
Two elaborate wedding bell
cakes decorated in pink, white
and green were on the opposite
side. The honorees cut the first
piece of cake.
Those who attended included
friends from the Night circle of
the First Christian church, a
birthday club and the American
Home club, of which Mrs. Buck-
ingham is a member, and their
husbands.
Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham were
married June 28, 1925, at Cross
Plains, in the home of her par-
ents. They have two children, Ann
15, and Glenn, 12.
Rev. B. E: Pitts, associate pas- ।
tor, has been filling the pulpit |
since the resignation of Rev. T.
Hollis. Epton.
The Christian Science society
was organized in Gainesville the
same year as the First Presby-
terian, in 1901. The present build-
ing was erected in 1925. It has a
reading room, a foyer, and an
auditorium with a pulpit for the
first and second readers. The
Christian Science society has a
small but closely knit congrega-
tion. Instead of a pastor, it has
readers chosen from the mem-
bership.
The Bible Presbyterian church,
corner of Denton and Scott
streets, is the youngest church of
the five as well as the farthest
north on Denton. The church
structure is of white brick in a
pure colonial style with the single
steeple. The chapel from Camp
Howze forms the basis for the
building.
The church was organized in
the early part of 1946, and met
for a while in what is now the
educational building, the old
Scott home west of the church
on the lot. The educational
building is where the Sunday
school classes meet, and where
the church offices are located.
Since its organization four
years ago, the church has had two
pastors. Rev. Herbert J. Ander-
son, who came here in January,
1948, now occupies the pulpit.
The church has a membership
of 171.
Gainesville has 19 churches in
addition to those on Denton
street. But the concentrated area
of five churches with their beau-
tiful buildings and large enroll-
ment is indicative of the emphasis
placed, by residents on religion.

membership of approximately
3,500, about a third of the total
population of Gainesville. The
number of years each church has
been functioning, combined, en-
compasses approximately 257
years, almost a longer time than
the United States has been set-
tled.
Thousands of dollars are given
yearly by the congregations of
the five churches to further
Christian work.
The Bible Presbyterian church
is the only one which still meets
in the building it first erected.
The other four have built their
brick and wooden buildings after
they had met in older structures,
the First Presbyterian, First
Methodist and First Baptist, in
buildings on other streets in
town.
Spires and stained glass win-
dows, two outward symbols of a
church characterizes most of the
buildings on Denton street. With-
out exception the churches have
an organ, emphasizing the place
of music in religion.
Driving north on South Denton,
the yellow brick modified Goth-
ic First Presbyterian church,
U. S. A., 401 South Denton street,
is the first on “church row.’ The
beautifully spired church has a
white brick trim.
The church was organized be-
fore the building was built in
1912 by an architect, reportedly
a Mr. Rocquemore, who also
built the First Baptist church.
The First Presbyterian church
was founded in 1901, and mem-
bers worshipped in a two-room
house on Lindsay and Main
streets. Later the Cumberland
and Presbyterian churches united
and chose the site of the Cum-
berland church, now the First
Presbyterian, for their perma-
nent structure. The building cov-
ers much of the block, and has a
basement, dining room, and
kitchen, Sunday school rooms and
main auditorium.
The church now has 236 mem-
bers. There have been eight pas-
tors since the combined congrega-
tions built their church. At pres-
ent, supply pastors are filling the
pulpit since the resignation of
Rev. S. John Wylie to become an
army chaplain this summer.
The First Methodist church, ,
214 South Denton street, is the ]
oldest on Denton street. It was j
organized in 1854. The first |
church built on Denton street was
a frame two-story building where
the Sunday school building now
stands. In 1892, the present
1 church of light red brick was
built to the south of the white
frames.
The frame building, sold to the
Southern Presbyterians, was re-
placed in 1907 with one of buff
brick. About two years ago, the
First Methodists reaquired the
structure for a Sunday school
building. There are now three
buildings comprising the Meth-
odist church, the building hous-
ing the auditorium, the annex
and the Sunday school building.
The First Methodist has a con-
gregation of approximately 600.
In conformance with Methodist
theological practice, the church
has changed pastors frequently.
In its existence, the church has
had almost 50 ministers. Rev.
V. Cyrus Barcus is the present
pastor.
The First Baptist church and
Christian Science society face
each other in the 200 block of
North Denton street. The white
frame Christian Science building
faces west on the corner of Den-
ton and Elm streets. The First
Baptist church, the second old-
est on Denton street, and the
educational building cover the
block between Elm and Broad-
way facing east. The red brick,
solidly constructed church with
stained glass windows, was built
in 1898.
The church was organized in
1871, and the first building was
a frame structure on Lindsay
street. The educational building
on the south side of the lot was
erected in 1938. It is of lighter
brick than the church.
Since its organization 79 years
ago, the church has had 24 pas-
tors. It has the largest congre-
