That spire is perfectly centered in that window. Great shot & perspective.

I noticed an old light bulb in the ceiling. I wonder if one were to take it to a live socket if it would work.

What a beautiful detail. Built to inspire and impress. It does both very well.

Thanks BillDoor!!

When I was a kid my Methodist Church had a sunrise service on Easter. We went to a local park to view the sunrise and worship. This Church could have held that type of service inside with no llights on and have been just as beautiful. And a lot warmer.

wonder if the wire mesh was removed for a reason or if it was just from wear.

Thanks for the wallpaper Motts

Most likely the drawers were part of a Sacristy, where the Presider prepared for services. Garments and other regularly used supplies are normally kept right off the alter in many Churches. Perhaps this explains the drawers, etc.

nvusofmotts, You are right. Regardless of your faith or beliefs this building has a historical significance simply because of its architectural design. When other lifes are considered, joyous occasions, weddings, and sadly funerals everything you posted is true.

This is so beautiful, I wish they wouldn't let such amazing buildings decay. At least with the pictures you take, these building will live on forever. Thank you for sharing these amazing landmarks
