First Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at 2nd Street and 3rd Avenue NW in Hickory, Catawba County, North Carolina. The church began in 1873 as a small mission church in the village of Hickory Station.[2] Construction of the current building took place between 1905 and 1906, and it features a Romanesque Revival architectural style with a granite exterior. The front facade features square towers of unequal height. Attached to the church in 1928, is a three-story granite block Education Building with a flat roof and crenelated cornice. Also on the property is the former manse; a two-story, American Foursquare dwelling with a low hipped roof, overhanging eaves, and hipped dormer.[3]
