Old Church/School

I came across this old church last night while I was driving around. It was built after the Civil War and served as a church and a school for refugees. It no longer has a congregation but is still used for community events.
Beautiful .... stunning lighting and great textures!! What a GREAT find. Love it.

Great capture of this old structure. It has wonderful character - I love those peaked windows and the peeling paint.

I love the window & door design as well, it is a more decorative touch than is found around here. Is that style common in other old buildings in your area?
