The Project's tour of the damned continues with #9 on our list, Cobbs Creek's St. Cyprian
Why They're Here:
At least
Yes, I know it's another case of Tabula Rasa, and if better cared for, a 1924 columned, cruciform Italian-Renaissance church would be a thing of beauty. Sorry, can't go by what-used-to-bes. It's bad.
Why They're Not Lower:
Well, good stained glass art is always appreciated. But mostly, it's the respectable stone exterior, nifty red-tile roof and prominent tower--which, fun fact, was constructed as a big %!$@ you to the KKK, who burned a cross on the parish's property.
That's some nice moxie there, but moxie, sadly, doesn't pay for church upkeep.
May I suggest that interior pictures be posted, if possible , so that others can see what there is about these churches that puts them on the list.
ReplyDeleteYou may, but I can guarantee nothing. We don't have interior photographs for the churches covered during our first year. For those first-year churches that end up on the best & worst lists, we will try to provide independent interior photography where possible. But in some cases you may just have to take our word on it, for now.
ReplyDeleteHey, if they hadn't decided to let the beautiful Transfiguration of Our Lord sit and ROT for almost a decade.....
