Description

From the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Churches - Survey Photograph Collection. A black-and-white, exterior photograph of a multi-story clapboard building. It has a central steeple with two sides encased by the main structure and the viewable sides each have a window—the right is a Tudor arch and the left is a taller narrow window with a lancet arch. The steeple has an open belfry and pyramid roof. The wings on either side of the steeple have a Tudor arch on their short sides and a large, central window that has a Tudor arch with three tall and narrow windows with Tudor arches, above which are three square panes in a triangular style. The wing closest to the camera has two narrow windows with Tudor arches on either side of the large central window, and a thin brick chimney on the right side. The building extends into another wing which has another narrow window with Tudor arch and two floors of window pairs. There are several various-sized bushes planted along the building's side.
