Another old church

This church in Wilson, Louisiana had no sign, but I think it is the Wilson Community Church. Unfortunate placement of the power pole.

When we used to drive to Fort Moore in Columbus, GA, I was fascinated by the small towns with their elegant courthouses and pretty churches. One of my sons gave me a book about the churches. I want to go back and see more of them, but in the meantime I am tracking down historic rural churches in Louisiana. There seems to be a pattern here, architecturally....
Maybe they are updating their sign- it seems very unusual for a church not to identify itself. It's a pretty one too- I find the roof on the steeple to be built in an unusual way, but that could just be the perspective playing tricks on my eyes (not your doing). And yes, I think both the layout and architecture are indicative of the time period when most of them were built. A fascinating subject!

Beautifully simple architecture. I was just telling my daughter the other day about your photos and how similar one of the churches was to the church she goes to. We discussed the possibility that the similarities are more indicative of the era. They were built rather than the denomination. It would be an interesting theory to pursue.

It certainly looks well kept.
