300 Water St, Lewisburg, TN 37091

Water Street Abbey is a historic Presbyterian church building constructed in 1910 by the same builders who constructed the Ryman Auditorium (Grand Ole Opry House). Current Owner built a new stage for future music acts to similarly play in the dome-shaped sanctuary. The Late Gothic Revival Style exterior of the brick building features a corner bell tower delineated by Gothic arch openings with y-tracery, a steep pitch roof, & large windows.* The interior resembles an Akron plan, with mahogany moveable doors that open to space once used for classrooms off the sanctuary. Sunlight filters through stained-glass windows & across 13 pews set atop original spruce floors. Restoration efforts are under-way in this unique structure built atop Lewisburg's original water source. * TNJ: On the Hill
