The Falls Church
Faith
1
This Georgian-style church was designed and built in 1767-69 by James Wren, related to Sir Christopher, replacing a 1733 frame structure on a 2-acre lot that was part of the 1729 248-acre Trammel grant. George Washington and George Mason were vestrymen. After the 1788 disestablishment of the Church of England, it fell into disuse until it was repaired in the 1830s. Union troops used it as a Civil War hospital and stable. Repaired by 1866, an Episcopal congregation has worshipped here since 1873. In 1959, the church chancel, narthex, and galleries were added. Adjacent structures were built in 1952 and 1992. Church gravestones date to 1803.
