Property Description
1769 Old Chapel Church in Penhook is one of only four pre-Revolutionary War frame Anglican churches in Virginia. Built in 1769, it is the oldest documented frame structure in Southwest Virginia. The one-story, 254 year old church has been preserved and completely restored to its 18th Century appearance. The white 24x32 building with five windows and plank floors features traditional English Box architecture with exposed post and beam construction. The front door still opens with vintage-style keys, and the chancel door exits near the communion table, which is typical of 17th and 18th century Anglican churches. Inside the church, which sits 80 people, is a pulpit and desk, a cross dating back to the 1200s, one-piece 'post and beam' wood work in the corners of the building.
