With its 220-foot tall spire, Woodmont Christian Church makes its
presence known at the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Hillsboro Road.
Designed by Nashville architect Edwin Keeble, the steeple, often
referred to as one of "Keeble's needles," is a prominent
feature of the church.
The exterior surface of Woodmont Christian Church is an inexpensive
painted brick, not normally used for facing. Intended as a money-saving
device, the brick was painted white, which is now a recognized feature
of the church.
