The Hull Memorial Presbyterian Church was located on 2020 Bull Street in Savannah, Georgia. It was established in 1868 as a mission of the Independent Presbyterian Church also in Savannah and later became an organized church in 1884. The church had been known at various times as Anderson Street Church, Second Presbyterian Church, and Westminster Church. It was named Hull Memorial Presbyterian Church in 1914 in memorial of Mary Elizabeth Blue Hull, the mother of Joseph Hull who donated land and funds for the church in 1913. In the 1960s, Hull Memorial and the Eastern Heights Presbyterian Church in Savannah withdrew from the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. As a result of this withdrawal, the Presbyterian Church claimed rights to both churches' property, which led to a series of court cases in both the Georgia Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court. By a unanimous decision on 19 January 1970, the Supreme Court upheld the Georgia Supreme Court's decision that Hull Memorial and Eastern Heights rightfully owned their properties. This court case decision then caused other churches to withdraw from the Presbyterian Church, eventually leading to the formation of the Presbyterian Church in America. Hull Memorial was one of the original churches in the formation of the Presbyterian Church in America denomination. The Hull Memorial Presbyterian Church was dissolved in 1990 after a steady decline in membership which began in the mid 1940s.
