St. Luke’s, And A Mason’s Wife

St. Luke’s was originally built in 1854 at what we now call ‘Old Cahawba‘ — the town that served as Alabama’s first capital and was abandoned due to flooding issues — it’s right on the Alabama and Cahaba rivers. With the help of Auburn’s Rural Studio, St. Luke’s was moved back to Cahawba from Martin’s Station where it was moved and had been over 100 years.

If you’re thinking: Richard Upjohn…you’re right.

Old Cahawba is a ghost town now:
