A sign next to the parking lot commemorates a Brick Church School which stood nearby from 1896 to 1918. Some foundation stones are still there. The photo on the upper-right of the sign shows a different school, which now stands in Luray.
Behind the sign is a pretty view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Across the road (U.S. 340) is a farm. The long buildings appear to be poultry houses. Other farms are nearby.

Beautiful church!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I think I have said this before - but there are lots of features in these church buildings that have echoes of buildings in Melbourne - I assume they are of a similar age.
