Even though the architecture of the Grace Episcopal Church is not as exuberant as that of the Waddell Memorial Presbyterian Church in Rapidan, Virginia, it is still another example of a Gothic Revival, or Carpenter's Gothic building.
Build in 1901, this is the oldest of the three wooden frame churches still extant in Stanardsville. A parish hall was added behind the building around 1930 and a hyphen joined the buildings in 1960.One of the most distinctive features of the building is the belfry with its open, pointed arches and cross. Below the belfry, the gable end is covered with diamond shaped shingles. A round window in the gable has been covered over.
Grace Episcopal Church faces Main Street in the middle of town and is the home of an active congregation.
