The People Who Lived on the Land that is Now Redstone Arsenal, page 36

The photograph held in the library labeled “Union Hill School" shows the structure to have stacked corner stones as the only foundation and what was probably a wooden front step. The photograph below, taken by Beverly Curry in November of 1996, shows Rev. McKinley Jones standing by the cement steps that were used to enter the square vestibule at the entrance of the church. The cement foundation of the church can be seen in the background. Thus, the photograph of “Union Hill School” is not a photograph of the Union Hill Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Since the former residents contend that the church was synonymous with the school, they are incensed that the photograph of the dilapidated structure built on cornerstones is being presented as Union Hill School on the arsenal. 36 - (4069)
