36 S Green Street was the location of a two-story, five-bay brick building which once housed the Christian Church which was organized in Henderson in 1841. The east section of the church was built in 1855. In 1861, during the Civil War, Federal authorities seized the church building and used the structure at various times as a barracks, commissary, hospital, and prison.
Even though Henderson was removed from the battlegrounds of the Civil War, its location near the Ohio and Green rivers made it a transit point for Union troops, prisoners, and wounded. The Henderson County Courthouse, private dwellings, and tobacco warehouses were used by Union troops.
In 1926, the main facade of the 1855 church, which was front-gabled with two corner towers, was replaced by a facade in which the central entrance is housed in a Gothic-arched opening. The church congregation outgrew this building and relocated in 1957. The building was demolished in 2009 to make way for a new bank building.
