Those standards vary due to the condition of the building. In this case, the church has deteriorated so much that rehabilitation is the main concern. Listing it makes federal and possibly state funds available to the parties responsible for its rehab. The intended use of the building is of secondary nature, so long as the external appearance remains true to the original plan. <br /><br />I'm sure the use of the building as a church will be encouraged, but isn't necessary. It's use as a Catholic church is doubtful, as DeValls Bluff, a town once important due to its proximity to the White River, has significantly decreased in population over the years and there are probably not enough Catholic families left to make up a congregation.Jay Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834315191267300438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-892924176111464763.post-53134477377631315552009-08-29T04:37:28.742-07:002009-08-29T04:37:28.742-07:00What a cute little church.
