Old Churches

While the Bella Coola Valley is no Quebec in terms of old and classical architecture for churches, for a little community far out in a rain forest, we do have have a few classic buildings.  This church, the Augsburg United Church built in 1904 and past the 100 year mark for a wood building is pretty impressive.  It's architecturally pleasing and it's a real landmark in Hagensborg to be able to drive by every day and see it unchanged over the years.  Tomorrow, more old buildings.  Grizzly

  3. Woohoo Grizzly! - can't wait for the next few days to unfold. Great idea to have an architecture focus - you will have an encyclopedic mind before you are through! Mind you I do look everyday at your blog and really DO enjoy the weather updates!! Gilly

  4. Word is the sermons were short for the first hundred years as water was not brought to the building until 2004, thanks to the "flush fund" generated by the church members!
