Spencer Presbyterian Church

The Spencer Presbyterian Church, also known locally as the Market Street Chapel, is a historic church building at 408 Market Street in Spencer, West Virginia. It is a single-story T-shaped brick building, with a cross-gabled roof. The gable ends are adorned with large Gothic windows, and there is a square tower at the crook of the T, housing the main entrance and rising to an octagonal belfry and cross-topped octagonal roof. It was built in 1903, and is prominent as an example of brick construction when most churches in the area were wooden. It is also a significant local example of Late Victorian Gothic architecture.[2]
