Dorsey Chapel
This chapel is an excellent example of the small frame meetinghouse style church that was the focal point of rural African American communities at the turn of the 20th century. It is distinguished by a steeply pitched gabled roof with decorative elements. On September 16, 1900, the cornerstone of the Brookland Methodist church was laid, but from its earliest days it was known as Dorsey Chapel in honor of its first pastor, The Reverend A.B. Dorsey.
