Spring Hill United Methodist Church

Spring Hill United Methodist Church is a Greek Revival church built in 1841 by John Fletcher Comer with lumber from his mill. The building originally had a slave balcony and exterior stairway, which were removed circa 1890. At the same time, the pulpit was moved from between the two entrance doors to the rear of the church. In 1872, the congregation had 104 members, including 32 men and 72 women. In 1899, the Comer family issued a deed for twenty acres of land for a school. The adjacent two-room Sunday School building was erected in 1954. Today, the church and cemetery are maintained in part with money from a trust established through Avondale Mills, the Comer family business.
