In 1872, wealthy businessman John Craigmiles commissioned architect Peter Williamson to design a church in downtown Cleveland, Tennessee. The Gothic revival church was built in 1873 and dedicated in memory of 7-year-old Nina Craigmiles who died in 1871. The mausoleum behind the church is home to one of Tennessee’s strangest mysteries.
