214 Church Street
R.E. Atkins was a member of the Morrisville First Baptist Church
and in 1914 he built this one-story house across the street. Atkins
became a minister in 1907 and was the church’s minister.
The home retains much of its original woodwork
throughout, including symmetrically molded door
frames and Neoclassical revival style mantels. Other
original features of the home are its front entrance
with sidelights and transom, as well as the Doric
porch posts. The home features a wide center hall
and a tall pyramidal roof. A barn and garage built
around 1930 are also on the property.
