Description

The church is located 251 South 200 East, within the Springville Historic District and is an individually listed contributing property. It was built in 1892 and includes Late Gothic Revival, Modified Late Gothic Revival, and other architecture. It has also been known as Springville Community Presbyterian Church. The church, and a house right down the street, was also featured on the television series Touched by an Angel.

The church was listed on the NRHP in 1980.[1] According to its NRHP nomination, it is significant as the first Protestant church in Springville, for its sponsorship of the Hungerford Academy school, and for representing "the system of over a dozen churches: and more than thirty schools maintained by the Presbyterians at the peak of their activity in Utah."[2]
