Description du lieu patrimonial
The former Southville Church of Christ, also known as Disciples of Christ Church, was constructed in 1889 on Langford Road in Southville. It is a one and one-half storey, wooden church with Greek elements. The heritage designation refers to the building and the building footprint only.
Valeur patrimoniale
The former Southville Church of Christ, built in 1889, served as a place of worship for the Disciples of Christ and is valued for its history and ties to the local community. Reverend Donald Crawford began this movement in Digby in the winter of 1852 when he visited Southville and preached to small groups. This lead to the establishment of the first organized Church of Christ congregation in Digby County. Meetings were first held in private homes and as the congregation grew, so did the need for a Church of Christ building in Southville. Today it houses a museum.
