Title
Burke United Methodist Church
Description
The Burke United Methodist Church opened in a former Southern Railway train station in 1929. Former school teacher and neighborhood handyman, Willie Harlow, made the steeple and the cross, although he did not attend church services there. The congregation moved to a new location in 1979, and the former depot and church became a commercial building.
General J.E.B. Stuart had raided the old train station in 1862, and a historic marker denotes the event.
