Our Story
In 1880, Harry Firmstone built a church for the people of the Longdale Furnace Iron Company. A careful restoration is giving it a second life — as an intimate venue for the moments that matter most.
The History
Harry Firmstone raised this church for a growing mountain town, and for generations it anchored the community. Time eventually emptied the pews — but never dimmed the bones of the building.
Our restoration preserves what made it special: historic charm, soaring mahogany ceilings, and the original heart-pine woodwork. What changes is its purpose — a place gathered around celebration rather than service.
What makes it special
Historic charm, soaring mahogany ceilings, and original woodwork — preserved, not reinvented.
Tucked into Clifton Forge in the Longdale Furnace area, minutes from Firmstone Manor.
Built for up to 75 guests — a room where every face is one you know.
“A building this honest doesn’t need much — just good light, good people, and a reason to gather.”
