I've posted other photos of this church because it always moves me. It was built about 1870 by a congregation of formerly enslaved people and used until the 1960's. Fortunately, the church and several other outbuildings were moved in 1973 to the Rural Life Museum from Welham Plantation. Preservationists were working to save the historic main house, but we woke up one morning in 1979 to the news that it had been bulldozed by owner Marathon Oil Company.
Acute church with such interesting architectural features. I think there is an architecture challenge going on right now this would be a beautiful contender.
@grammyn Thanks (as always!) for your comments and thanks for suggesting the challenge. I had not seen it and architecture is one of my favorite subjects, both to shoot and look at others' photos. I'm going to suggest it to a couple of other people.
How sad to hear about the main house.
