Memphis: Goodyhay Chapel (Location Key)

The make-shift church where Brother Goodyhay's congregation meets in The Mansion is, according to the bigoted Mink Snopes, a former "nigger schoolhouse" (304). It is "an unpainted box of a building" standing just beyond a crossroads in "empty" countryside (304). Its large interior is depicted as similarly plain, with "backless benches" for the congregation and, at the front of the room, a "plank laid across two saw-horses" for Brother Goodyhay himself (307).
