Additional Information: | This church building has a steeply pitched gable roof with returned eaves at the gable ends. A square tower with pent roof projects from the front gable end. Windows are gothic arches filled with stained glass. Themain entrance is decorated with a tall window hood. The church sits on a rock face concrete block foundation. Carpenter Gothic buildings are simple, wooden structures, with simple Gothic details. This church, with its almost crudely executed details is a good example of this type of building. This building was probably moved here (the modern foundaiton) around 1920. It is unclear where its original home was. It was used by the Penticost Church of God as their home, and the Church of God still uses the building today. This building is not historically significant at this time. |
