James Street Holiness Church
James Street Holiness Church
The James Street Holiness Church, founded in 1891 by the Holiness preacher Bettie Thompson, illustrates the rich but little studied history of the African American community in north Danville, the history of African American women religious leaders and the history of 19th century Protestant religious groups.
The roof is in poor shape and the basement has flood damage. Immediate repairs are needed to prevent further deterioration of the building so it can be reused as a potential community center.
