Hebron Church Hampshire County, West Virginia Name of Property County and State United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 1 Narrative Description The Hebron Lutheran Church is located east of Route 259 (Carper’s Pike) in the unincorporated community of Intermont in Hampshire County, north of the Hardy County line (Photo 1). The Cacapon River is located immediately southeast of the site. The setting of the church is rural with farmland interspersed with steep, wooded topography. The small brick church building is located on a semi-circular asphalt drive which connects to Carper’s Pike. A wrought iron fence runs along the western perimeter of the property and separates the church building and adjacent cemetery from the driveway (Photo 2). Large, old growth shade trees are located inside the fence line (Photo 3). The fence was installed in April 1895, replacing a wood picket fence.1 A paved brick walkway extends from the fence to the façade of the church. The nearby Cacapon River is obscured from view by mature foliage east of the historic property. The site consists of a flat plain of which the centerpiece is the historic one and a half-story Greek Revival style brick building. An active cemetery is located on the north, east and south elevations of the building while a modern community building is located south of the historic church. The cemetery consists of over 600 marble, granite, slate and wooden headstones laid in semi-regular rows in a northeast-southeast direction. Several yucca plants dot the southern region of the cemetery and aside from the old growth trees along the perimeter of the site, a lone hemlock tree grows immediately behind (east) the church. Outhouses are located east of the church and a small prefabricated shed is located northeast.2 The National Register boundary for the Hebron Lutheran church includes the contributing historic brick church and cemetery as illustrated on the accompanying map (Figure 1). The modern community building is considered noncontributing. Hebron Church building The Hebron Lutheran Church, constructed in 1849, is a one and a half-story, front gable brick building with a standing seam metal roof. The façade (northwest elevation) has two entrances with recessed paneled wood doors topped with a stone lintel and corner blocks (Photo 4). The exterior hardware consists of a small brass knob (with interior carpenter lock component) and a small modern deadbolt lock. The building is constructed with brick laid in Flemish bond on the façade and a five-course common bond on the north, east and south elevations. 1 Debbie Boyce,
