This is confusing, to me, and may be to you. The Pulaski Courthouse Square Historic District, and the Sam Davis Avenue Historic District, bookends this district. But, this district is Called the Pulaski South Historic District, by the local historic society, also called The South Pulaski Historic District, then on the NRHP form filed with the Department of the Interior is titled West Pulaski Historic District.
Hope you can keep up with all that.
The Baptist Church bought up the Catholic Church (No. 7) and the Victorian house (no. 9) and torn them down, replacing them with a new modern community building for themselves.

The historic resources date from the 1830s to circa 1936 and are mainly located along West
First, West Second, and West Third Streets, part of the original town plat. Most of the
nineteenth century residences are vernacular designs embellished with Greek Revival,
Italianate, Queen Anne, and Victorian Gothic ornamentation. Over half of the historic
resources date post-1900 and many are bungalows or have bungalow detailing, especially on
porches. Located south of the Pulaski Courthouse Square Historic District CNR 1983), the
district presents a cohesive area representative of the architectural development of Pulaski
during the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century." ~ NRHP Nomination form
