You'd have to check with the National Park Service, but if you go to their website http://www.cr.nps.gov/crdi/publications/pubs.htm and go to this section:
African Reflections on the American Landscape: Identifying and Interpreting Africanisms, examines African cultural heritage found in built environment, and its interpretation within the NPS cultural resources programs. It is available in a PDF format and in print. For printed copies, contact Brian Joyner at 1849 C Street, NW (2251), Washington, DC 20240, phone: 202/354-2276.
The third chapter (available in PDF) has the brush arbor at Zion Poplars Baptist Church in Gloucester County. The National Register nomination was written by Natalie Robertson at Hampton University.

Subject: Brush Arbor and Old Mill House
Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am searching for scannable images depicting Brush Arbors and Old Mill
Houses between 1870 and 1880 that may have been used as places of worship by
African Americans in rural Eastern Virginia.
Any ideas? If you can e-mail me the images, or point me to a noncopyrighted
one on a website, that would be GREAT! Unfortunately I need them by
Wednesday, August 6. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen E. Sutton
