1921 John Wesley‘s Stand

John Wesley‘s Stand is Randolph County‘s last remaining example of a once familiar sight: the open-air tabernacle or brush arbor. Started in 1903 by the Rev. J.F. Burkhead of Asheboro, worship was first held under a brush arbor after which a small frame church building was erected in 1906. The tabernacle was built in 1921. The quartz rock pillars of the tabernacle are an echo of the popular Bungalow style of that time.
