This is the church where you find the entrance from yesterday's post. The Church was founded in 1818 but this bGothic Revival building wasn't constructed until 1875. The interior is quite unusual since it has an amphitheatre shape which fits perfectly into this corner site. I love the copper spire which rises 165 ft above the corner main entrance.

Oh, I'm glad you added this image. Quite a significant landmark I bet.
It does sit perfectly into the corner!
really cool! the patina on that copper makes it really stand out!
It certainly is a beautiful church. I would love to see inside!
It's interesting the way it was designed to fit the corner location.
What a fine use of the corner site. The doors in your previous post are quite nice - «Louis» has long liked that trefoil design.

Love the copper spire!

This building is very similar in architecture to the churches of my youth...and most of them were built so as to wrap around the front focal point, including the balconies.
Really beautiful.
I'm sorry to have to say that now I want to see the amphitheatre. I can imagine it but I'm far too curious to stop at that! Lovely unusual church!
amazing church. one of my favs. would love to see it in person. ( :
I'm a big fan of copper spires. This is very pretty!

It has quite a commanding presence.
They do not make them like this anymore.
You always describe places in a way we want to learn more about them! ;-)
I had a feeling that the whole church would look magnificent Pat.. All those fab arched doors :) Thanks so much for showing?
That's one heck of a church!
It has a good tower!!!
