Old St. John’s Meeting House began serving parishioners of the Episcopal Church in 1889, built in the Rural Gothic architectural style by master builder John Kaufmann. Alberta Ramey Bowers made the fabric quilt for a fund raiser. Mrs. Bowers was a generous Oconee County native who donated many quilts to support community projects.
