While in San Augustine for the Sassafras Festival I had to revisit my favorite church (at least its architecture is my favorite because I know the building does not make the church) that I discovered last year, Christ Episcopal Church. Built in 1870 after a fire destroyed the first building (constructed in 1851), it contains rails and hand-hewn pews which survived the fire and remain through today. The Gothic tower was added in 1891 to relieve the building strain caused by the vibration of the bell.

What a cute church.
Lovingly maintained. :)
That is a perfect little rural church!
it is very pretty. reminds me of that green Episcopal church we have locally.
It is a pretty one. I can just picture a bride and groom in that doorway on their wedding day.
I agree with everyone, especially Judy. What a lovely setting for a wedding.
I love the pristine white. Not a tagger in sight.
That is a pretty church, to be sure.
It is definitely an iconic American church.
I love it, too, and isn't it interesting that there are some buildings you can be drawn to over and over?
