Mystery Church?

Hi everyone,

I am an historian from Pittsburgh, PA. Last week, I was in Roane County, surveying for historic buildings. I work for a company that has a contract with the WV Department of History and Culture. During the course of the survey, I came across a beautiful old church near the intersection of County Route 52/1 (Round Knob Road) and Sinnett Run. There is an old schoolhouse nearby as well, but I think it has been turned into a residence of some kind. It has really captured my personal interest, so if anyone can tell me anything about the church, I would be very appreciative (what it is called, why it might be abandoned, etc).

Thank you so much!
