Needwood Baptist Church and School

Needwood Baptist Church and School are historic buildings (a church and a school) north of Brunswick, Georgia, along US 17. The oldest parts of the church date to the 1870s. The towers were added circa 1885 and contain a bell dated 1884. Thirty original pews and other original furnishings remain. The church is of no particular style, but is similar to many rural African-American churches. The school has one room and is of similar age and construction as the church. The school was used for African-American students until the 1960s. The church and school were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[2]

gollark: Semiconductor stuff, as far as I know, involves vast amounts of random chemicals and many steps, which aren't *inherently* CO2-uous but probably cost a lot of energy to produce.
gollark: Presumably just anything involving multiple processing steps could do that, even.
gollark: That seems like a weird worst-case scenario. I'm pretty sure there are things with more CO2 output than that.
