Really nice old church
« on: January 06, 2007, 06:22:27 AM »
i thought i would share a project that i have been working on for the Litchfield, Connecticut Congregational Church.

this fine old church was started in the mid 1700's and the building was built in the early 1800's. it just went through a massive restoration, both inside and outside. the steeple was in danger of falling. they commissioned me to document the church and i have tried to show it in all its glory.

it is the most photographed church in connecticut and possibly all of new england.

enjoy,

lou

Wow!  It's a really lovely old church . . . . a lot like the one my Grandfather used to take us to up in Minnesota.

Isn't that a beautiful church? Beautiful photos too, of course, Lou took them!

I took some pictures of some really cute old churches on Maui but don't have them scanned in. Churches often have great architecture.
