Woodmont Christian Church
Style: Neo-Classical
Architect: Edwin Keeble
Built: 1949

 

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.
