Historical Notes
The
Campbell
Chapel
AME
church
,
named
after
Bishop
J.P
.
Campbell
,
is
the
oldest
AME
church
in
Giles
county
,
TN
,
while
its
congregation
dates
back
to the
late
reconstruction
era
circa
1873
. The
original
church
building
burned
down
in
1925
,
which
led
to the
construction
of the
current
stone
structure
,
which
was
completed
that
same
year
. Not
only
did
the
building
serve
as a
church
,
it
also
served
as the
local
segregated
school
with
classes
held
in the
basement
. Its
role
as a
school
started
with the
construction
of the
new
building
in
1925
and
ended
when
the
Pulaski
Rosenwald
school
,
named
Bridgeforth
School
, was
constructed
between
1927-1928
. The
Gothic
Revival
style
of the
church
set
it
apart
from
others
in
rural
Tennessee
, and
thus
the
stone
tower
became
a
landmark
in the
African
American
community
of
Pulaski
. The
masonry
work
is
attributed
to
African
American
carpenter
and
mason
George
Smith
while
architect
Calvin
McKissack
may
have
possibly
influenced
the
final
building
design
.
