This is another historic African-American church for which I can find no historical background, but I’ve become fascinated with the vernacular architecture that features prominently on these buildings. The steeple, or tower, is usually the focal point, and even on a newer structure, like this cinderblock example, creativity is in the details. The use of the open sides of the cinderblocks to create a pattern and opening was a clever idea that adds great visual appeal, in my opinion.
