Mossman HALL 3.49

The church was built in the 1920's. According to a biography written by Miss Mary Mossman, the three sisters of faith were led by divine visions as to where to settle, and the design of their home. Their homestead is located on The Macc property adjacent to the church.
In the early 1900's, Sister Annie wanted to lead her own church and when she could not find one, she built her own. It was a Missionary Church and survived until the early 1960's, when she gave her last service with the intent of having the church de-sanctified.
At the passing of Annie Harper on May 6, 1971 in Melrose Florida, the last of the three sisters, the property passed according to their wishes, "not to their heirs but to the purpose as the Lord saw fit". It was purchased by the Harp family who held it until 1983 when the Lowry's purchased it. The church was again-sanctified by the local Episcopal Priest, Father Yerkes, to ensure the building could be used for other purposes. It housed Anne Lowry Antiques for many years before converting to the current venue of The Macc, a place for arts, culture and community activities in Melrose.
