Christ Episcopal Church in Norfolk, Virginia

View of Christ Episcopal Church (now Christ and Saint Luke's Episcopal Church, 560 W Olney Rd, Norfolk, VA 23507, United States) at 560 West Olney Road, Norfolk, Virginia. (The church is notable because, the Very Reverend Harold Dobson-Peacock, Dean of this church was an innocent participant in a hoax perpetrated by Norfolk boat builder, John Hughes Curtis, during the search for Charles Lindbergh's kidnapped son. Curtis fabricated a story about being contacted by kidnappers who held the child on a yacht. His hoax put officials and Lindbergh, himself, in a fruitless search for the phantom boat.)
