Washington Street Church

Inside view of the Washington Street Church.

The church on Washington Street was home to the Edwardsville Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Group of members outside the Washington Street Church, 1926. People that have been identified are Irma, Bertha Mae (Ladner) Homer, Hester Ladner, Lillian Ladner, Bud, Rose Nixon, George Albert Wainwright. In the next row are Eliza Wainwright, Laura Agnes Wainwright, Veda, and Ervin. In the back row are Robinson, Sylvan (Jack) Ladner, and Ellen Elizabeth Wainwright.

This was also called the "First Chapel in Edwardsville" in the Society of Sisters Waveland Ward booklet. It is unclear what is meant by "Edwardsville," since no town or community goes by that name in modern Mississippi.

The building was disassembled and moved piece by piece to Bayou La Croix in the early 1940s.
