Universalist Church

The Universalist Church in Middleport. Built in 1841 with stones the congregation collected on the shore of Lake Ontario. It closed in 2015.

Very cool! Are the stones all about the same size and arranged in really neat rows?

@princessicajessica Yes, you kinda can make them out in the photo.

Such a striking piece of architecture, nice capture of it

@darchibald I thought that's what I was seeing! A small town next to my city has a number of buildings built this way, and there's one in particular I really like (a church). It's featured in a book I have called "Top 150 Unusual Things to See in Ontario." The style was brought here by an immigrant from Rochester in the 1840s!

I really like the added drama the sky adds. Beautiful church and it looks like it's in remarkably good condition considering how old it is!
