From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sacred Heart Cultural Center is an events center and a former Roman Catholic Church in Augusta, Georgia. It is the more notable and recognized landmarks in the city. It was built by Jesuit priests and its first service was on December 2, 1900. The Church had been in Augusta for 70 years, until the church closed in 1971 due to modern suburban advancements. While the building was vacant, it endured much vandalism and was near destruction after vandalism and vacancy. In 1987, city officials renovated the building and opened as a National Historic Landmark and a vibrant center of the city for cultural events. The building now host events such as wine festivals, choral concerts, and Christmas events. It is one of the best examples of redeveloping downtown Augusta.
