Springvale Courthouse, Randolph County
Karan Pittman notes that this is presently used as the courthouse, or precinct, for the Springvale community. It’s possible that it was originally a post office and/or general store, but I haven’t been able to locate any history. I’ll update if/when I learn more.
Gay Store, 1900s, Springvale
Springvale was incorporated in 1870 and supported a post office from 1885-1995. It’s located in a very picturesque area of Randolph County. The Gay Store building is perhaps its most important remaining architectural/cultural landmark.
Springvale Baptist Church, Circa 1910, Randolph County
Springvale Baptist Church was constituted in 1843 and originally known as Bethel. Its first home was a log structure near Pataula Creek. Two more churches, built in 1849 and 1870, would follow and both were gifted to the African-American congregation that grew out of Bethel after the Civil War. In 1893 the name was changed from Bethel to Springvale and the present church constructed about 1910.
