Historical Information
This structure is a Greek Revival, one and a half storey wood timber frame construction. It has a teeply pitched gable roof with front gable or temple plan, along with an enclosed one-storey entry on façade. Two chimneys come from the roof of structure, and a small dormer and door break the roof line on the east side of the house. Outside steps lead to this door (not original to when it was a church).
This structure is the former Virginia East Baptist Church and part of the Clementsvale Pastorate. It was built, according to oral tradition, by James Brown as head carpenter in 1906 and completed on January 11, 1907. The church began to be dismantled in 1971 and the structure was sold in 1973 for $350 to the Coomb family that currently (2021) own the building. No deed could be found for this transaction or the property on which the church stood.
