Middletown, VA
This building on Senseney Avenue was the first church built in Middletown. Originally a Methodist church serving white citizens, it was conveyed to the “Colored People’s Church” in 1872.
It has been beautifully restored. You can see how it looked before restoration in my post from December 2016. At that time the beautiful logs were covered with deteriorating celotex siding.
At some point the congregation built a new church next to it, the Mount Olive Baptist Church. I believe they use the historic building for special events.
Oh, lovely shadow stripes! Interesting history of the church.
