Great Falls, Va.
The church was constructed
in 1897 on a 1 acre parcel (Db Q:202). The congregation
began meeting in the Odrick's Corner school c. 1892.
The church was active until 1967, when they merged with
Gunnells Chapel to form William Watters United Methodist
Church. The church building was used by other denominations
and later sold. Plans to convert the church to a residence
and later to demolish it both failed, and the building
stood empty for many years. It has recently been restored
by a group of local residents as a community meeting
hall.
