"These weathered ruins are all that remain of St. John's Episcopal Church - one of Harpers Ferry's five earliest churches."
"Built in 1852 with money provided by church fairs, St. John's served as a hospital and barracks during the Civil War and suffered considerable damage. It was rebuilt afterward, but was abandoned in 1895 when a new Episcopal church was built in the upper town."
