The Stanardsville Baptist Church was built in 1928. It is believed that some of the wood for this church may have been salvaged from the Dundee Baptist Church (1856-1927), which was located on Dundee Road along the nearby South River.
A square bell tower rises above the entrance vestibule of this one-story, wood-frame structure. Diamond-shaped shingles cover the bell tower and the gable ends. The photo above was taken from an angle that does not show two large additions to the building dating from 1950 and 1980. A third addition is planned.The congregation of Stanardsville Baptist Church gathers weekly for worship in this building.
See last Sunday's church.

Your pictures are incredible. Terri loves taking pictures too and this might motivate her to get back into it again.
ReplyDeleteI love your little "tidbits" of history about the area and pictures as well.
We just located where I had put the barn pictures you gave Terri when she saw you last..I had put them away for safekeeping, almost too safe..we're going to get them framed and hang them up now.
Keep up the great work...we do check.

Thanks Dorene. I am glad that you like Photography In Place--I have a lot of fun doing it. Tell Terri to get out with the camera. Colorado should be beautiful this time of year.
