While the congregation dates as far back as 1755, the present building was designed by Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898) and built about 1855. It is a one-story, board-and-batten covered frame structure with a T-shaped plan. It has a steep gable roof with overhanging eaves, three cross gables, and lancet window openings in the Gothic Revival style.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.[2] The first house of worship was built about 1760.[4] Among the early church leaders were Samuel Stanhope Smith, Drury Lacy, and John Blair Smith, each of whom served as presidents of Hampden-Sydney College. Samuel S. Smith also served as president of Princeton University (then known as College of New Jersey) and John B. Smith also served as first president of Union College in New York. In 1766, funds were raised as part of a plan to 'support the gospel' which enabled the purchase of slaves that were then rented out.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|accessdate=5 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921053819/http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm#|archive-date=2013-09-21|dead-url=yes|df=}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Virginia}}{{PrinceEdwardCountyVA-NRHP-stub}}{{Virginia-church-stub}}2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/PrinceEdward/073-0038_Briery_Church_1969_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Briery Church |author= Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission staff|date= April 1969|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and Accompanying photo 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=lva/vi00013.xml|title=Briery Presbyterian Church Records, 1760-1892|last=|first=|date=2001|website=The Library of Virginia|publisher=Library of Virginia|access-date=29 Jun 2016}} 5. ^{{Cite journal|last=Rivers|first=Flournoy|date=1894-01-01|title=The Flournoy Family|jstor=4241809|journal=The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography|volume=2|issue=2|pages=190–213}} 7 : Presbyterian churches in Virginia|Churches completed in 1855|19th-century Presbyterian church buildings in the United States|Carpenter Gothic church buildings in Virginia|Churches on the National Register of Historic Places in Virginia|Churches in Prince Edward County, Virginia|National Register of Historic Places in Prince Edward County, Virginia |
