First Parish Brewster by lauriehiggins

First Parish Brewster

This historic church was first built in 1700 as a Puritan church and the Meeting House that established my hometown of Brewster as a town separate from the town of Harwich. It has been rebuilt three times, most recently in 1834 and it has been a Unitarian Church since the mid 1800's. It was recently given a major rehab that included a new foundation, roof and other improvements.
Wow like a skyscraper from this pov. Love it in b/w

Very intimidating pov here. Looks like a beautiful building!

@westcoastwallis Those Puritans actually were pretty intimidating, Paula. They came here for religious freedom and then were maniacs themselves. I went back and forth between this and a more conventional "pretty" shot I took of the whole building. I'm working on more experiments this year, for better or for worse.

Perspective is so dramatic yet the whiteness of the building keeps you from being in fear of it falling on you . . . intriguing!

Have you read the book "Cape Cod?" I picked it up one night while working in Hyannis, even though it's a work of fiction it has enough historical facts in it to be informative. The Puritans were tyranical!

@l2lumom I not only read the book "Cape Cod," but I've interviewed the author, William Martin. I'm a journalist and I write about books, food and the arts. Bill Martin is not only a great writer, but a really nice guy.

@lauriehiggins Very cool! After reading that book I sought out and read "Back Bay." I'm an avid reader, or I should say I was before my kids took up all my time.... That sounds like a really interesting job. I'm a nurse by trade, and that's why I was working/living on Cape. I was a travel nurse back then.

@l2lumom I've read all of his novels. Back Bay was one of my favorites.
