A cemetery with a low stone wall lies to the southeast.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the most distinctive country Presbyterian churches in southeastern North Carolina, a region settled largely by Scottish immigrants. Its slender portico, central Palladian window and well-preserved exterior and interior make it an important example of vernacular religious architecture in antebellum North Carolina. The congregation was also one of three pioneer Presbyterian churches in the Upper Cape Fear River Valley, organized in 1758.","narrative":"Long Street Church is a two-story frame Presbyterian church set on a bluff in the pine barrens of Hoke County, now within the Fort Bragg Military Reservation. Built around 1850, it is five bays wide and three deep, with a hip roof and a full-height porch carried on slender fluted Doric columns. A large Palladian window sits at the center of the facade. Inside, the original pews, hand-planed woodwork and three-sided gallery survive. The congregation was organized in 1758 after a visit by the Reverend Hugh McAden and was one of three pioneer Presbyterian churches in the Upper Cape Fear River Valley. Highland Scottish settlers formed the Long Street community, which began to break up by 1895. The federal government bought the church and six acres in 1921. It is valued as a distinctive and well-preserved example of vernacular religious architecture in antebellum North Carolina. A nearby cemetery holds gravestones from the late eighteenth century.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (ca. 1850)","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival / Greek Revival vernacular frame church","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is marked excellent and altered; the form notes the building is unoccupied.
