Christ Church, Cherry Valley, PEI
PEI (Prince Edward Island) has many of these wonderful white clapboard churches and this has to be one of the most beautiful especially when viewed from the highway with the waters of the Northhumberland Strait behind it. This Anglican church was built in 1842 and has been historically registered and the congregation is now in the process of refurbishing the interior to period standards to match the exterior which is so typical of PEI architecture with the wide eaves and clapboard siding.
What an absolutely gorgeous building and I'm so glad that it's been restored and will be preserved for future generations! Reminds me of churches I've seen in northern Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteWow first red, red, red, then white, white, white. What a great pair of contrasting photos. Gorgeous church, I'm with Lowell, so glad it is being taken care of.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty! Most old country churches are.
ReplyDeletePEI is on my list of places to visit. In large part b/c of Anne of GG. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this architecture.
Cute looking church.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how often it needs to be painted.
ReplyDeleteSimple, stark, severe. We have lots of simple, stark and severe white churches in New England, too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a post card! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA classic picture, love the contrast with the blue sky. Glad the interior will soon live up to expectations.
ReplyDeletewhat a classic looking church with the weatherboards! Special.
