The St Lawrence Catholic Church was built in 1906 for the Italian Catholics of Hillsville, Pennsylvania. It was a wood frame church and burned down in July of 1930. The brick Church pictured above was built and dedicated in March 1931.
We were driving on Route 422 when I spied this old church I told my Hubs.... STOP!! I want to get a picture. Well, I kind of shrieked it.
I only wish I could have gone through it, and maybe I could have had I ask.
St. Lawrence Cemetery located right beside the Church.
This is what I seen driving up to it.
I just thought it looked beautiful!!
Located on 3195 Churchill Rd, right off W 224. They have since built a newer church in 1967 and this is now use for the CCD Recreation Center.
That is definitely a nice looking church - very unique. I totally bet they would have let you take a look inside if you had asked. Next time?
ReplyDeleteI don't even know why, I'm not even a churchy person, but I love the look of churches. They are so historical. The stain glass that some of them have tell stories.
