On land given March 8, 1845, by John C. Caskey for a cemetery and meeting house, a native stone structure believed to have been built before 1855 originally stood two stories tall and was financed by J. W. Atkinson and Dr. O. Benedict. In that era it housed a school, Baptist and Methodist worship services, and Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges. Primitive Baptists purchased it in 1924, and an extensive remodeling in 1950 reduced it to one story.
