This classic rural Georgia church was built during the 1890s and for most of its history was home to the Dellwood M. E. and later Dellwood United Methodist Church. In recent years, it was home to the Son Light Inn congregation but appears to be empty at this time. The boxed returns on the front gable, as well as the narrow two over two windows are the distinguishing architectural features of the building.

When I encounter a place like this, I think of all the families who spent time here over the years and of how difficult it must have been to abandon the place when there weren’t enough people to keep it open. It’s perhaps the most significant historic structure remaining the Dellwood community and I hope it will be preserved.
