Dorsey Chapel
  This chapel is an excellent example
of the small frame meetinghouse style church that was the focal point
of rural African American communities at the turn of the 20th
century. It is distinguished by a steeply pitched gabled roof with
decorative elements. On September 16, 1900, the cornerstone of the
Brookland Methodist church was laid, but from its earliest days it was
known as Dorsey Chapel in honor of its first pastor, The Reverend A.B.
Dorsey.
