Bits And Pieces
One more shot of the Prescott Fine Arts building which started out in life as the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. As you can tell, I am very fond of this old building in spite of having it's steeple removed to prevent lightening strikes.
One would think that they could have put a lighting rod or something, other than removing the steeple. Even with the steeple removed, it must be the tallest structure around.
Given my predilections, I'm glad to see the building, which is indeed beautiful, has been put to good use.
Re your question on Ocala: Belk is a very nice department store, with excellent quality merchandise at good prices...and lots of good sales! It's a chain located primarily in the southeastern U.S.
It sure looks pretty against the blue AZ sky.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting (and dizzying!) angle Judy. Yes, I can see why you love it...it's beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI would assume that the bell towers and height of most churches tend to draw the eye upward to the sky...definitely what happened in this photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!
It is a building worth several photos. I really like this angle.
ReplyDeleteThe rose window looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnother 1890's construction designed by Frank G Parker (related). He is credited for this work on the bronze sign in front of this building now.
