Royal Oak Presbyterian Church

-A A +A
1923, Clarence B. Kearfott. 139 W. Main St.
  • (Virginia Department of Historic Resources)

This large brick Gothic Revival church features a facade dominated by a three-stage square bell tower. A large pointed-arched, stained glass window on the tower's second level focuses attention on the facade and its double-arched entrance. Shallow brick and stone buttresses articulate the side walls, and its tall clerestory lined with small stained glass windows is unfortunately now clad in white vinyl siding.
