The Rye Presbyterian Church

Coming down the road from the other end allowed me to discover this beautiful stone Gothic style Rye Presbyterian Church.  It was designed by the same architect who built the Trinity Church, Wall Street, in Manhattan, NY.

It was a challenge trying to resolve how to make the sketch fit on one page especially when pressed for time.  Using the height of the outer left wall as the base measurement, it was possible to get everything in on one page.  Before I left, I wrote down the ornate calligraphic inscription carved in stone atop the main door entrance.

      Thank you, Joan. Glad it turned out that way because I was pressed for time. Otherwise.... :-)
