Give Me That Old Time Religion

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

The Brentsville Union Church was completed in 1874 and is still available for worship services by local religious groups. The church is part of the 28 acre Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre. The church, 1822 courthouse, 1822 jail and 1922 one room schoolhouse are now owned and maintained by Prince William County.

Architectural lines in rural America during the 18th and 19th century were clean, symmetrical and functional. Their simplicity was the source of their beauty.There are probably thousands of them standing and serving throughout the country today.

Even the decorative features of the windows and doors were understated.

Before Arthur and I entered the sanctuary we knew we would see more of the style that was so typical of rural America, revealing the strength of simple functionality that was the foundation and building blocks of the country.

Karen, I love the title of this post, and what a lovely church and history.  I can just see this church year's ago full of people singing praises to the Lord.

Hi Karen, there is something so beautiful in it's simplicity. These small churches represent where the real religion in this country is.
