Photo Gallery: College Hill
This is one of the photographs that were made during the filming of Intruder in the Dust on location in Lafayette County. This Presbyterian church might have been a model for the church in The Unvanquished: before the Civil War it featured a gallery for the enslaved people who attended services, which the slaves entered via pair of staircases and small doors. The stairs were taken down after Emancipation, but you can still see the closed doorways just above the two main entrances.
1949
