Work is 95% completed on stabilizing the old Galilee Baptist Church at 854 Williamson Street. That is good news for the historic structure, which is slated to become the area’s first Civil Rights Museum.

Farrell says she and the general contractor have been documenting every part of the historic church and saving all salvageable components. She says the roof is now weathered in and there are new sub floors and flooring. The next phase, according to Farrell, is getting the building ‘more in the dry’ which will include installing period-appropriate windows.
