The Schuyler Historic District is a national historic district located in Schuyler, Virginia. It comprises 563.9 acres (2.282 km2) and includes 138 primary resources dating from its settlement period of the 1840s through the mid-20th century. A primary component are eight soapstone quarries located in Schuyler, with eight additional located just over the Albemarle County line. It represents a cohesive industrial community with the majority of its dwellings representative of vernacular regional building traditions. There is an “Executive Row” of dwellings overlooked the centrally located soapstone company from atop a bluff, with other quarry focused neighborhoods fanned out along adjacent hilltops.[3]
One of the older churches in the area is Schuyler Baptist Church organized in 1905. The cornerstone for the present building was laid on August 17, 1907 at 2:00 PM by Rockfish Lodge Number 108 A. F. and A. M. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
