Sam Black Church, known today as Sam Black United Methodist Church,[2] is an historic Carpenter Gothic-style church located at Sam Black Church near the unincorporated community of Smoot in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.
The historic white frame church was built in 1902 and named in honor of Rev. Samuel Black, a circuit-riding Southern Methodist preacher. It is a small one story building with a gable roof. It features a square, open bell tower with a hipped roof. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 64 and U.S. Highway 60 on the Midland Trail, a National Scenic Byway.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
