St. Paul Church Building (Florence, Ky.) In 1851, a man named Cornelius Ahern moved to the village of Florence, and began to seek out other Catholics in the area. He started holding mass in his home, with Father Butler of Covington leading the parishioners. As interest grew, it became clear that a church building was needed. Funds were raised by a number of area priests and parishioners, and a small church was built on Shelby Street. The little frame building was dedicated in 1856 and cost $600. It could accommodate about 400, and its dimensions were twenty five by forty feet, with a steeple measuring 30 feet. There was no regular mass for many years, as priests would travel on a circuit, much like other denominations. The first regular pastor at St. Paul's was Father Bent, who began his service in 1874. Father Bent soon added a room to be used as a school, with Miss Murphy as its teacher. The current location of St. Paul's Parish and school was established in 1904, and has undergone many changes throughout the years. The original frame church on Shelby Street was razed in 1926.

East Bend Methodist Church Building (East Bend, Ky.) Traditional for the area in form, the gable-front building has a single opening in the front, East Bend Methodist Church none in the back, and four windows on each side. The double doors, designed in a distinctly non-Greek Revival style with chamfered members including diagonals, are lighted by a large transom. The shuttered windows are topped with wooden lintels; the sills are of wood as well. The brickwork is in common bond, and the fading red paint on the bricks is possibly original. A stove flue pierces the roof surface near the center of the north wall. --National Register Nomination

Biography of John Taylor A biography of James Taylor (1752-1835). Here is an excerpt from the biography, "Rev. John Taylor was a distinguished pioneer Baptist preacher and writer who was born in Faquier County, Va in 1752. He united with the Baptists in his twentieth year. He began to preach almost immediately after he joined the church and continued with great success. He located in Kentucky in 1785. The first religious revival in the state commenced under his preaching in Woodford County in 1785. In that year he helped establish Clear Creek Baptist Church and was pastor there about ten years. In 1794 he assisted the Great Crossing Baptist, Scott County, KY in the constitution of the Bullittsburg Baptist Church -the first church of any kind in northern Kentucky. In 1795 he moved to what would soon become Boone County and became the first preacher for Bullittsburg. He ministered there for seven years. During that time the church experienced revival in 1800-01 (in what is often called the "Second Great Awakening in America"); there were 113 people converted and baptized into the church."
