The Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church, originally known as Mount Carmel Presbyterian Church, is a historic Greek Revival church located in southeastern Dallas County in the community of Pleasant Hill. The current church building was constructed during 1851-1852. Its principal features include a recessed portico with two columns in antis, a bell tower topped by a small domed cupola, and a second-floor balcony around three sides of the interior. This building is a well-preserved example of a rural antebellum church, clearly reflective of its period of construction and retaining its original plan, siting, materials, furnishings, and finishes, except for a metal roof and a set of concrete steps.
The Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church was placed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage (ARLH) on November 2, 1990 and on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on April 22, 1999.
This church is located beside CR 12 approximately 0.2 miles east of intersection of CR 12 and CR 7 at Pleasant Hill (32.164978,-86.908325 – Google Maps).
