One of the most beautiful churches in Huntsville is the Church of the Nativity located on the corner of Eustis and Green Streets. It was built in 1859 and is an outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture and is still in its original condition.

The building contains a nave with aisles, chancel, vestry and organ chamber, and a monumental entrance tower at the northeast corner. The height of the town and spire is 151 feet. The bell in the brick bell tower is about 18 feet square and an inscription indicates it was made in Sheffield, England in 1865. The original bell was removed during the Civil War and used to make a cannon.
