Here you see the St. James United Methodist Church of yore, which faces South Court Street, and is the antecedent of the St. James United Methodist that stands today on Vaughn Road at its Ryan intersection. In the center you see the old St. James Sunday School wing, mother of the St. James Private School that proudly stands on Vaughn Road, directly opposite Blount’s park. My youngest three attended the K-4 school here in an earlier life, and for me it was a carpool destination.

Pictured above is the new location on the “corner of Vaughn and Ryan Road”.
