Answer: H.I. Bearden Temple
What’s Behind the Answer:
What historical church was constructed by granite from Stone Mountain?
1922, Saint Philips African Methodist Episcopal Church (later H.I. Bearden Temple A.M.E.) is constructed by its parishioners of granite, quarried from Stone Mountain and brought by mule carts to Reynoldstown.
Located in the historic Reynoldstown community at 887 Wylie Street, Bearden Temple AME Church is listed as a contributing structure to the Reynoldstown National Register District because of its early 20th-century architecture as well as its significance for African American denominations in the area. Under the leadership of Reverend J.R. Gardner, the church was constructed in 1922 of granite quarried at Stone Mountain and transported to the site by horse and buggy. In late December 1950, the church was critically damaged by fire, however, under the leadership of Reverend O.F. Maddox, the congregation quickly rebuilt the church in less than six months.
