The Falls Church

The red brick church stands at the intersection of East Fairfax Street with a symmetrical design, pitched roof, and white wooden details.

Colonel James Wren designed this brick structure in 1767 to replace the original wooden building, completing construction in late fall 1769.

The Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from the church steps, and Francis Scott Key attended services at this congregation in the 1830s.

The church maintains regular services at 115 East Fairfax Street, with accessibility features and parking spaces for visitors.

Union troops used the building as both a hospital and stable during the Civil War, leading to repairs after the conflict ended.
