The Story
Savannah's only Unitarian church, housed in an 1851 Gothic Revival building that served as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War and a freedmen's school during Reconstruction. James Pierpont composed "Jingle Bells" while serving as music director here in 1857 (though this claim is disputed with Medford, MA).
