Regarding Original site of Rock Hill Presbyterian Church. The church closed in 2005 due to declining membership. The Giddings-Lovejoy Presbytery began searching for a buyer, and the United African Presbyterian congregation used the site between 2006–2010. The Presbytery sold the property, which is now a gas station. Carl Bolm purchased the old church building. He dismantled the church and moved it to his Cedar Lake Cellars Winery near Foristell, Missouri in 2012. He donated the church pews to the Civil War Museum at Jefferson Barracks.
