Zounds! There must have been a zillion churches built in those years that look very much like this one.<br /><br />The irony, and what I find really funny, is the Baptists, officially, do not drink alcohol (well, they're not supposed to do so), including wine which is why they use grape juice for their Communion services. Now, in this restoration, there is a wine cellar to accommodate 3,000 bottles. Heh, heh!<br /><br />Not even an old church can escape the power of the grape! ;-)Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669721126705732069.post-30032376576590606062012-03-11T03:04:20.912-04:002012-03-11T03:04:20.912-04:00It's certainly a different place to live!It's certainly a different place to live!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669721126705732069.post-4707779920960483592012-03-10T23:57:46.145-05:002012-03-10T23:57:46.145-05:00wow.

I told my husband it could be divided into suites, and he laughed at me.<br />So we bought our little old house, but someone else bought the church and turned it into suites, much to my husband's surprise.<br />KKay L.
