Pataskala Presbyterian Church is a historic church at Atkinson and Main Streets in Pataskala, Ohio. It was built in 1868 and added to the National Register in 1983. The church congregation was founded in 1837, meeting first in Harrison Township in the barn of local area resident Joseph Baird and then at a log school house in Lima Township. With no regular meeting place, services were held in a variety of locations, including schoolhouses, the Methodist Church in Etna, at the Conine grist mill, and in barns. Then from 1852 to 1868, it met in a frame structure. When this frame structure became unsafe, a lot was purchased in Pataskala for the current building. The church was constructed at a cost of $5000 in 1868. The church was dedicated later, in 1870, and its bell hung in 1873.

Gothic Revival Architecture
Gothic Revival (also referred to as Victorian Gothic or neo-Gothic) is an Architectural style, architectural movement that after a gradual build-up beginning in the second half of the 17th century became a widespread movement in the first half of the 19th century, mostly in England. Increasingly serious and learned admirers sought to revive medieval Gothic architecture, intending to complement or even supersede the Neoclassical architecture, neoclassical styles prevalent at the time. Gothic Revival draws upon features of medieval examples, including decorative patterns, finials, lancet windows, and hood moulds.
