We came across this church in 2008.
I think it is one of the most beautiful churches I have seen.
I don't know why I had never thought to google it, but I had not until tonight:
The Redpath Memorial Presbyterian Church in Cross Village. The Church was organized in February, 1888 and dedicated in 1890. It was destroyed by fire in 1918, to be rebuilt in 1921, through the efforts of The Rev. John Redpath, for whom the church is named. For many years the church stood empty and unused. Through the efforts of two young couples the church reopened in 1965 for summer worship.
The above was from a facebook page for it seen HERE. And there is a great photo of it there.
I would love to have been able to see inside...
With these views, I am linking to Tuesday's Treasures.
It is GORGEOUS!!! It looks old, yet new. And your research explains why. I agree, I think it is my favorite church ever.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and beautiful, I would like to go in too...

The stonework & red roof make this a very special church!

Hello, pretty church and sign. I like the redroof and stone work. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI was about to ask why Redpath and then I got to why it is named that. it is beautiful I love the front of it, it would be a great church to turn into a residence. I am glad they restored it and now use it some.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous church!! I can't believe it was empty for several years.
ReplyDelete...Rose, I've seen one church like this up in the mountains, thisone is gorgeous. Building this was a labor of love. Thank goodness for the folks who saved this one and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive church that you connected very well in these pictures. The comment is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a very beautiful church. I suppose the interior would be very beautiful too. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty church. Would love to see it in person and also see the interior.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church.
ReplyDeleteHowever old architecture are always nice and beautiful..
Oh yes, that is beautiful and like you I love stone buildings.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the prettiest churches I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing Rose, a super photo and fantastic that it was brought back from ruin.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! That is a very beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteLovely church. I am a Presbyterian, and I love the simplicity of the old church from my childhood. Although it was in Ireland we used to have the Stars and Stripes in honour of how many of our congregation had gone to make a better life for themselves in the USA.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that it is absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad that someone decided to put it back into use.
ReplyDeleteoh it's a beautiful little church!
