Location: ​100 Suttles Street, Florence 

Marker Text: ​On land given march 8, 1845, by John C. Caskey for cemetery and meeting house. Originally 2-story, the native stone structure is believed to have been built before 1855, financed by J.W. Atkinson and Dr. O. Benedict. In that era it housed a school, Baptist and Methodist worship services, and Masonic and odd Fellows lodges. It was purchased in 1924 by primitive Baptists and reduced to one story in an extensive remodeling in 1950. (1970)
