Along Highway 1 in Gualala is this Methodist church dating from the 19th Century. It is interesting to find these 19th century churches, still in use, along Highway 1. Priorities in the 19th Century were very different from today - were this community being settled today, it is highly doubtful that a church would be one of the first structures built...

Beautiful lines and architectural details esp. on the tower.
You think a Chucky Cheeses would be 1st? I shudder at the thought.
Beautiful and lovely shot!! Simply amazing and nice !!
I like the shadows!
Lovely, especially the tower!
There would probably be an impact study to undertake. God hates filling out those forms.
If they were settling in the Jackson, MS area I wouldn't be surprised if a church was the first thing to go up. We have two or three churches on every corner. And new ones being built all the time!
But this one is a very attractive model. I like the older ones better.
I don't know for the States, but in France definitiely not. Even the exisitng ones are more or less empty, except some of the nicer ones... by tourists!
There are some lovely churches down your way.
You'll need a McLinky soon! :-)
Lovely little church captured in beautiful light
Gulala, Gualala, Gualala. Just love saying the name of that town. It trips off the tongue. Agree with Mo, the shadows add a lovely dimension.
I love such old, wooden churches! How about a peek inside, too? Don't be such a shy cow, Louis la Vache!
Churches and saloons--one depends on the other it seems.
Love the church I may have to use it on my HolyHouses blog. MB
Agree. With the shadows more interesting. Beautiful church.
