This circa 1866 photograph shows Church Street in Salem, North Carolina. The old African American Moravian log church, built in 1823, can be seen near the center of the image — it’s a small building with two chimneys. The updated brick church, built in 1861, can be seen to the right and behind it, with a white roof and bell tower.
