Thomas Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church is a historic African Methodist Episcopal church located on Craigmont Street, Black Mountain, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It was built in 1922 by descendants of freed slaves, and is a one-story, frame building with Gothic Revival design influences. It is sheathed in weatherboard and features a tall, pyramidal-roof bell tower.[2]
This church may have always been called "Thomas Chapel", but a predecessor "Tom's Chapel", named for one of its builders, was built around 1892.[2]:12
It was deemed locally significant as an intact example of a Gothic Revival-influenced church and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1][2]
I would make a very poor southerner. :)

DeleteHello, I was raised Catholic and must say now I am steadfast church goer. I can pray anywhere! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteLoved your comment that you can pray anywhere!
DeleteThe simplicity of these appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteYes, people who could build these churches probably went to them too.
