Markham, Virginia.
Last month I took these pictures of Markham United Methodist Church.
When the church was built in 1819, the town was known as Farrowsville. The church was built as a Union Church, meaning it could serve all denominations. I found this information in the nomination form for Marshall Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places. Behind the church is the old Markham School, which dates to 1918. 
Interessante esta igreja.

...the stone work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the windows and door on the back side were all closed up "permanently with stone." Perhaps they found the cold coming through that direction, or they had new heating or air conditioning and didn't need cross-ventilation any more. Or they didn't like the view! Who knows. I always think of how buildings change with the needs of the occupants.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was intrigued by that also.
DeleteBeautiful stone work, very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the stone walls.
ReplyDeleteIs there an old little train station there? I thought I rememberd one, or maybe in another town where I went apple picking one fall.

Yes, there is an old train station in Markham. I think it is next to the old apple warehouse.
ReplyDeleteQuite a building.
