Revival for Body and Soul, Detail,

Westwood, Ben Hill County, Georgia, 2001.

The community of Westwood evolved around the fringes of the AB&C Railroad's machine and repair shops. (Today, CSX maintains a Yard & Crew Office near the site of the long-abandoned shops.) Never incorporated, Westwood was once central to African-American life in the county, and today survives as a neighborhood. This structure was likely used as a community tabernacle or meeting house, and has been abandoned for at least 25 years.
