Mt. Salvation Baptist Church, Arlington, VA

"5":

A large piece of milk glass partially above the surface:

One of the best historic African American adorned vernacular grave markers that I've seen in the Northern Virginia area:

Jesus is Lord Church, Arlington, VA

Halls Hill - High View Park Neighborhood, Arlington, VA

Adjacent to Calloway Church. A genealogical-art installation entitled "Memory Bricks - The Family, 2004" flanks the walkway.

There are hundreds of bricks and they should all be transcribed. It's the history of the community literally laid out at your feet. Genealogical information that may not be found anywhere else. Really beautiful. Fantastic idea.
