Its pair of uneven corner towers, arcaded loggia and stained glass windows, along with an auditorium-plan sanctuary combined with a modified Akron-plan Sunday school, are cited. It remains remarkably unaltered since completion in 1922.","narrative":"Hedrick's Grove Reformed Church, now Hedrick's Grove United Church of Christ, is a large red-brick church set in the countryside about five miles southeast of Lexington, North Carolina. Built in 1921-1922 to replace an earlier church on the site, it was planned by a congregational committee that visited other churches and sketched features they liked. Members made the bricks themselves and supplied the lumber and labor. No architect or builder is recorded. The building is a late and rare local example of Romanesque Revival design, with two corner towers of unequal height joined by a three-bay arcaded loggia, and round and rectangular stained glass windows. Inside, the sloping sanctuary follows the auditorium plan and connects to a modified Akron-plan Sunday school. The church has changed little since 1922, apart from carpeting around 1970 and a new roof in 1988. Its cemetery, begun in 1893, and a 1962 education building share the grounds. It was listed for its local architectural significance.","period_of_significance":"1922","architect_builder":"Unknown; the church has no record of hiring an architect or builder, and members designed and built it","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Romanesque Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Church remains in use as a congregation (Hedrick's Grove United Church of Christ) with a cemetery, education building and parking; the 1922 church is described as remarkably unaltered and well preserved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:52.844049-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/37/7199/47719937/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/07001496.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001496/7b4f181456-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001496/7b4f181456-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Carolinateacher","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hendricks_Grove_--_Front_of_Church.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Carolinateacher</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:Hendricks_Grove_--_Front_of_Church.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719937","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedrick%27s_Grove_Reformed_United_Church_of_Christ","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5697651"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/davidson-county/hedricks-grove-reformed-church-07001496/"}
