This is probably a rumor..but in Theodore, in South Alabama, there was a congregation that would meet under a tent. They were able to build a chapel when (GULP!!) The KKK gave them $10,000 for their building fund. This was in 1924 on the grounds of the old Carol Plantation.
I think the brush arbor was used for revival meetings. It was reminiscent of the old time camp meetings. Pretty sure they had a building for regular services.

I never really knew what a brush arbor (heard in an old religious song) was until I saw this picture! Thank you.
