 This building, the second for Fourth Presbyterian Church,
was dedicated on February 17, 1914. It was completed for
a total cost of $22,000. The educational wing was added in the early 1950s at a cost of more than twice that of the
sanctuary.
Fourth Church is noted for the architectural beauty of the sanctuary, the stained glass windows and the Kilgen pipe
organ. The church was designed by Charles and West Barber, noted Knoxville architects who were members of the church.
 The history of the stained glass windows is somewhat cloudy,
but it is believed that they were designed in 1912 by the Louisville Art Glass Company for a church in Ohio. However,
the lasting brilliance of the color suggests German craftsmanship. The Ohio church chose another type of window
and Fourth Church architects worked the windows into their design.
The first organ, installed in 1914, was a used Moller pipe
organ with exposed pipes mounted in the back of the chancel. It was replaced in 1947 by the present George Kilgen Company
organ. This organ has characteristics of both theater and early 20th century church organs. The organ is unusual in that it is
"under expression", meaning the pipes are enclosed in chambers with shutters that open and close, allowing an exceptionally wide
range of dynamics. A new Shantz console was installed in 1972, but the pipe work is almost completely original. It is the only Kilgen
organ surviving in Knoxville.
