If I Were A Rich Man....

...daidle deedle daidle, diggah diggah deedle daidle dum.  Boy, did the spell check ever go crazy on that phrase.  Sorry, but certain phrases always lead me into song.  Anyway...

Once in a while we have fun speculating about what we would do if we were fabulously wealthy.  Daughter #1 and I have one venture we dream about.  We would buy and restore wonderful old buildings.  We love to go on drives with no particular destination in mind and you almost always go by a crumbling old house, church, factory, barn, etc...that still retains a hint of it's former self.  We hate seeing these beauties  being lost to time and neglect. 
My husband and I went on a short fall drive yesterday and passed this old church.  I don't know why, but I am always drawn to these structures and would love to stop and explore.  We were speculating about the nature of the building. He thought it was a town hall or community building. I think it was a church/schoolhouse (like Little House On the Prairie)...used as a church on Sundays and school through the week. I'll have to do some researching.
I at least had to grab some pictures.




This charming old church will eventually just die and be lost.  How sad.  If I were a rich man.....

You know what I think about when I see these photos? Under the collapsing awning, I picture women from the early 1900's, with their long dresses and parasols (sp?), going in, followed by the men. Maybe the church isn't that old, but it is a lovely scene. Kind of Little House on the Prairie-ish. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful church! I think I would have loved to see this. And I agree with you, definitely Little House On The Prairie:)
