St. Stephen's Church
St. Stephen's Church, Carpenter Gothic church in Heathsville, Virginia, United States.
St. Stephen's Church features pointed arch windows, steep gables, wooden construction, and decorative elements integrated into its white exterior architecture.
The church, designed by Baltimore architect T. Buckler Ghequiere and consecrated in 1881, represents a pure application of Gothic Revival principles to wooden structures.
The building reflects the architectural preferences of rural Virginia communities and their adaptation of Gothic elements using local materials and construction methods.
