Dear all,

I am looking for a way to  dig out construction plans, pictures of or any 
information about the rise and demise of the Bethel Baptist Institutional 
Church on Commerce St, Charlottesville that was erected in 1921 by Rev C.W. 
T Barnes  A.B. Pastor (says the plate on the building).  I have exhausted 
all normal avenues  o we need to get creative. I have information and 
pictures from the 50's on but I would like to get back to its origins. The 
church could not pay the loan to King's Lumber Co (Charlottesville) during 
the depression so, apparently, the church disbanded and I cannot find 
anything.  I found the name of the Pastor around 1928 in the  Baptist Church 
Conferences in the Winston-Salem NC area but, not much at all.

I would appreciate any hints as to where else to look for this kind of 
information.

Many thanks!
