Story
"The Chapel" is a painting I did of Fulton Methodist Church in Davie County, North Carolina. Fulton Methodist was erected in 1888 and was placed on the National Register of Historic places in 1979. The church was constructed of locally made bricks and was financed by members of the Hanes family. The five-stage center tower, lancer arched windows and bracketed cornices make it one of the most accomplished and impressive church buildings in Davie County. The two front entries represent a time when men and women were segregated at the church and were not allowed to enter through the same door.
In 1965, Miss Catherine Hanes left a large sum of money to Fulton which was used to build another church on the same property. That structure, completed in 1969, has been used for worship ever since. Having stood for over a century, the early 90's found the church in a state of disrepair. This prompted Historic Davie, inc. to take on the church as it's next project. Three years later, Fulton Methodist was back in it's original condition. It's magnificent steeple and bell tower glimmered in the sun once again.
