Bemis United Methodist Church - South Jackson, Tennessee

Occupying the southernmost portion of the corporate limits of Jackson, Tennessee, the community of Bemis was developed beginning in 1900 as a planned industrial town to support the cotton spinning mills of the Jackson Fiber Company, a division of the Bemis Brothers Bag Company of St. Louis and Boston. The community was designed as a self-reliant town employing Garden City Movement principles to include residential, commercial, industrial, and community service structures on gently rolling terrain lying on either side of Cane Creek, a tributary in the general drainage basin of the South Fork of the Forked Deer River. The district lies entirely to the west of U.S. Highway 45 and largely to the west of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. All the property nominated to the National Register of Historic Places comprises all of the known buildings and acreage historically associated with the Bemis Brothers Company and its mill community during its period of historic significance from 1900 to 1949. One of the structures included is the Bemis United Methodist Church located on North Massachusetts Street built in 1908. It is a one-story, concrete and stucco, church structure with Tudor Revival and eclectic Gothic Revival influences. A Chapel addition was added in 1922 built of concrete and stucco in the same Tudor Revival style. A Sunday School Annex was added in 1965 also built of concrete block and stucco with the Tudor Revival style. The overall nomination (including this beautiful old church) was added to the NRHP on December 16, 1991. All the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
