History

The first church on this site, called Mount Zion Methodist, was established in 1840, in the vicinity of Tennally Town, a farming village, approximately three miles north of Georgetown, on the Rockville Pike. The original structure may have been rebuilt after the Civil War. In 1899, the building was renovated and expanded, and the name was changed to Eldbrooke, after Aquila Eld and Philip Brooke, who were among the founders.

The Spanish Colonial Revival building, designed by Howard Wright Cutler, was built in 1926. Descendants of the Eld family were still present in the 1960s. After church membership had declined thru the latter 1900s, responsibility for ministry was assigned to Metropolitan United Methodist Church in the 1990s, and ministry was discontinued in early 2000s. The property was purchased by The City Church in 2008.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

gollark: Yep!
gollark: Also, though this is more personal preference, (GNU[+/])Linux (distributions) has (have):- a package manager useful for general use (the windows store is not really this)- a usable shell (yes, I'm aware you can use WSL, but it's not very integrated with everything else)- lower resource use- a nicer UI (well, the option for one; AFAIK Windows does not allow as much customization)
gollark: I've seen Candy Crush randomly installed on a Windows machine as well as random unwanted gaming-related services, there's advertising for OneDrive in the file explorer IIRC, control over updates is pretty limited though I guess you can do a bit, and by "spying" I don't mean anything targeted but just that it reports quite a lot back to Microsoft.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> So telemetry/spying, in-OS advertising, uncontrollable updates, random useless programs being installed, and that sort of thing don't happen to you?
gollark: I'm sure Lego *could* make the speed consistent as long as the batteries can provide some minimum power. They just don't care, probably.
