Other than having been told that this was a black congregation, I spent over ten years trying to identify this church. Thanks to a post to my Vanishing Georgia group on Facebook by Tony Cantrell, I am now confident that it is the original home of the Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, which is now known as New Oak Grove Missionary Baptist and located in Cordele. That church was established in 1940, so perhaps this was used by another congregation from 1904 until that date.

“Tar paper” churches were once common but now most are gone.
