Architectural Vestiges: June 2013
http://architecturalvestiges.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 29, 2013. OLD SAYBROOK, CONNECTICUT. I’m not sure if this is actually called a ‘loom house,’ but that’s what it was used for, pardon the dangling preposition. The closest outbuilding to the 1678 Bushnell Farm House, it has many features that tweak my brain nicely. I only wish that I’d taken more pictures from the outside. I think I was hot on listening to a program that had already started at the. The flying beam itself is an interesting feature. Instead of horizontal ceiling joists th...

Arkansas Church: long gone
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2013/02/long-gone_16.html
Saturday, February 16, 2013. So why start up again? Well, because from time to time I still pass churches that seem in need of photographing. And. My brother, Jim, keeps sending me pictures of churches he has photographed. Since Jim 1.) is on the road more than I am, 2.) knows more about architecture and history than I do, and 3.) is a better photographer than me, I would be a fool not to post what he sends me. (Jim's own blogs are Architectural Vestiges. And Old House Doctor. 1st United Methodist, Rector.

Arkansas Church: June 2012
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Saint Boniface Catholic, Bigelow. Looking like some kind of fairy tale church,. St Boniface was built in 1906. I took this picture in early spring. And this one last winter. There's more photos of this church over at Arkansas Ties. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Saint Boniface Catholic, Bigelow. I own a stained glass studio called Arkansas Glassworks.

Arkansas Church: 1st Presbyterian, Fordyce
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2012/04/1st-presbyterian-fordyce.html
Sunday, April 22, 2012. 1st Presbyterian, Fordyce. The building, on the National Register of Historic Places, is 100 years old this year, although the church was organized in 1883. The windows, I'm afraid, are badly in need of fresh paint. There's some nice Victorian scrollwork in the stained glass. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 1st Presbyterian, Fordyce.

Arkansas Church: January 2012
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. Wye Community Club, Pulaski County. A community center today, this was most likely a church for most of its life. My brother estimates the date of construction between 1890 and 1920. I wonder if this is the Wye Mountain church referred to in this entry of the Encyclopedia of Arkansas:. UPDATE: 6/13/12 - I completely overlooked the church across the road, which indeed is Wye Mountain United Methodist Church. Here's a picture of it. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. In my travels aroun...

Arkansas Church: Berry Chapel, Arkadelphia
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2012/07/berry-chapel-arkadelphia.html
Monday, July 9, 2012. Berry Chapel, Arkadelphia. On the campus of Ouachita Baptist University. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Berry Chapel, Arkadelphia. In my travels around the state of Arkansas, I tend to be drawn to houses of worship. There is an amazing diversity of architectural styles when it comes to churches, and I try to record that diversity here. Please excuse my amateur bumbling with a camera; I'm learning as I go along. I own a stained glass studio called Arkansas Glassworks.

Arkansas Church: April 2012
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 28, 2012. Wooden churches are often devoid of cornerstones, so it's hard to date them. This one is clad in vinyl, so it's even harder. Twenties?

Arkansas Church: November 2011
http://arkansaschurch.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Botkinburg Four Square Church. Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Little Vine Primitive Baptist, Logan County. I love this photograph. My brother Jim snapped it two autumns back. He says he didn't do anything other than point and shoot, but it came out looking like a surreal diorama. The church is at the foot of Mt. Magazine in Blue Mountain. It's one of many Primitive Baptist churches around the nation called Little Vine. It's another one of those old time dual-entrance churches.
