When I took this photo in April, 2008, I had no idea that the airplane coming in over the church posed a threat to the church building's very existence. The Federal Aviation Administration, under revised runway safety rules, has determined that the church, located at the south end of the runway, is in the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport's safety zone, and must be removed.Sale of the church property and building to the airport was completed last summer and the congregation must move within twelve months. They are building a new church nearby. Unable to meet the criteria for protection as a historic site, the fate of the building is unclear, although it is certain that it must be removed from the property.
