In the Reconstruction era, free black communities built their own churches to express their individual sense of religious freedom. In and around Sandfly, these churches continue to be placed prominently at important crossroads. The Union Baptist Church was originally located in the heart of Sandfly, before it was moved to its current location. The chapel with its wood frame and white horizontal siding is a little worn, yet retains most of its original character, even after its midcentury reconstruction. The short tower sits in front of the facade over a small shed dormer and the main entrance.
