Davis 24.01 St Johns Episcopal

Remaining walls of St. John's Episcopal Church. St. John's was the first Episcopal in the Old Lick area of Roanoke County. The cabin in the background once belonged to Bernie Rideout Holland, a former slave of General Edward Watts. Built in 1850, the St. John's congregation eventually outgrew the small church. A new church was built in 1892 at the corner of Jefferson Street and Elm Avenue. St. John's is now located at 1 Mountain Avenue.
