The main block has not been structurally altered in over 116 years and its interior retains original woodwork and most original furnishings. It was built by church members from nearby timber and reflects skilled local craftsmanship.","narrative":"Set on a three-acre triangular lot along Cherrytree Road in rural Winnabow, this small Presbyterian church was dedicated on June 8, 1895, after the congregation organized in October 1894. It was the first Presbyterian church organized in Brunswick County. Community members donated time and labor, and carpenter Cleve Lewis worked on construction using timber from a nearby stand. The balloon-frame building combines Queen Anne details, such as alternating bands of shingles and a Palladian-style window, with a Gothic Revival interior of beaded pine boards, chevron-patterned gables and carved queen-post trusses. A fellowship hall moved from Camp Davis in 1947 was attached in 1963, along with a pastor's office, though the original church remains easy to distinguish. A cemetery behind the church holds about 141 marked graves, including veterans. The church was listed for its architecture as an intact rural example of its period.","period_of_significance":"1895","architect_builder":"Lewis, Cleve, builder","architectural_style":"Queen Anne; Late Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Remains in use as a church; the building is described as in excellent condition and the cemetery is still used for burials.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:52.723497-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/1/7191/47719101/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/11000888.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000888/d4132a893a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000888/d4132a893a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"BSLRed","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Hope_Presbyterian_Church.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">BSLRed</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:New_Hope_Presbyterian_Church.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47719101","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hope_Presbyterian_Church","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18156678"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/brunswick-county/new-hope-presbyterian-church-11000888/"}
