Church of the Good Shepherd
Church of the Good Shepherd, Gothic Revival church in Kanawha County, West Virginia, US.
The five-bay structure features a steeply pitched front gabled roof and stands on an elevated limestone foundation with detailed stonework.
The church was constructed in 1880 to serve the religious needs of Irish and Italian immigrant miners who settled in the region.
The property includes a Celtic cross made from County Kerry soil, connecting the church to its Irish immigrant congregation heritage.
The church occupies one acre of land and maintains regular services while accepting tour requests through the administrative office.
The building incorporates Gothic Revival architectural elements designed by John Canterbury and Andy Thompson, reflecting late 19th-century ecclesiastical preferences.
