Summary
The Presbyterian Church, constructed in the late 1850s, is one of Nebraska's oldest religious buildings. The walls are composed of stone rubble and grout, faced with stucco. The Presbyterian Church was organized in December of 1850 under the direction of the Reverend Edward McKinney, who was succeeded by the Reverend William Hamilton in 1853. Under Hamilton's guidance, D. E. Reed, a builder, began construction in 1856 on the Presbyterian Church as well as on Hamilton's own dwelling in Bellevue (see William Hamilton House).
