First Presbyterian Church. 5205 Elmira Street. Circa 1868. Neoclassical Revival. The First Presbyterian Church of Milton is the oldest known church building in Santa Rosa County. The church is a wood framed building that was originally clad in wood siding. The church building was modified in the 1920s. The church's exterior was then clad in brick veneer, steeple removed, and the portico was redesigned to capture the Neoclassical Revival style that was popular during that era.
