It includes an 1874 manse, a cemetery begun around 1858, and two outbuildings.","why_significant":"The visible text presents the church as an unusual stylistic blend of Greek Revival, Gothic Revival and Italianate details, with a congregation whose history reaches back to the late 1700s. The 1840 church served as a Confederate military hospital during the Civil War, and the congregation was active in education and the Presbyterian split over slavery. The criteria and period of significance are not legible in the truncated text.","narrative":"New Dublin Presbyterian Church sits on a twelve-acre parcel just over a mile north of Dublin in Pulaski County, Virginia. The white-painted stuccoed brick church dates to 1875 and reuses material from an 1840 church built on the same spot. Its design is unusual: Greek Revival in character, especially inside, with Gothic Revival touches such as a rose window and carved bargeboards. A concrete block education wing was added in 1950 and extended in 1969. The grounds also hold an 1874 Gothic Revival manse, a cemetery begun around 1858 with 408 recorded names in 1983, a moved tool shed and a modern storage shed. The congregation traces its roots to the late eighteenth century. It sided with the New School Presbyterians in the 1837 split over slavery, and the 1840 church served as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War. The town of Dublin took its name from the church.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Gothic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"The church, manse and cemetery are listed as current religious, church-related residence and funerary uses, and the form says the complex has good integrity overall.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.95366-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/71/6827/41682771/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/04001272.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04001272/f0064e8295-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04001272/f0064e8295-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"IxieVerns","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Dublin_Presbyterian_Church_CW_era.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">IxieVerns</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Dublin_Presbyterian_Church_CW_era.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41682771","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Dublin_Presbyterian_Church","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15262041"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/pulaski-county/new-dublin-presbyterian-church-04001272/"}
