The current frame church dates to 1918 and replaced an 1897 building. It was added to the existing Greenway Historic District through a boundary increase.","why_significant":"The church is a vernacular Gothic Revival building built for an African-American congregation, and it resembles other African-American churches already within the Greenway Historic District. Later research showed that the church and cemetery were historically significant enough to justify extending the district boundary across Route 340. The property falls within the district's period of significance and adds to its record of African-American community life.","narrative":"Ebenezer Baptist Church sits on the west side of Route 340 on the edge of White Post, Clarke County, Virginia, with a cemetery of about 200 marked graves surrounding it on three sides. A datestone gives 1918 for the current building, a one-story, gable-end frame structure on a rubble stone foundation. It replaced an 1897 church that burned. Pointed-arch window tracery and a diamond-shaped attic window give it a vernacular Gothic Revival look, and the interior retains its original floors, wainscot and pews. A mid-20th-century concrete block wing holds a kitchen and meeting room. The congregation received land for a burial ground in an 1884 deed, and several prominent local African-American families are buried there. The property was left out of the Greenway Historic District in 1993 because it was isolated across the highway. Later research on the church and its cemetery, and its similarity to other African-American churches in the district, led to its addition in 2007. The congregation still uses it.","period_of_significance":"1760-1943 (same as original district)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a church by an African-American congregation, with an active cemetery.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:03.271265-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/16/6802/41680216/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/07001135.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001135/8343c80fb9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001135/8343c80fb9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cecouchman","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greenway_Historic_District_Marker.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Cecouchman</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greenway_Historic_District_Marker.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"93001133","name":"Greenway Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/virginia/greenway-historic-district-93001133/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41680216","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenway_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14712400"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/clarke-county/greenway-historic-district-boundary-increase-07001135/"}
