The history of First Presbyterian Church dates back to 1821. This is the second building associated with the church and is located at 200 West Trade Street. The exterior features the Gothic Revival style of architecture and was constructed in 1857. The facade, narthex and tower, with the steeple were rebuilt in 1883-84.
On January 30, 1830, residents in the Sharon neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, met at the home of Martha Kirkpatrick to discuss the organization of church. The land for the church, located on what is now Sharon Road, was donated by Dr. J. W. Ross and the Kirkpatrick family. The church building, seen here, was completed and the first services were held on October 22, 1831.
