For those of you who knew him and were not yet aware, Lowell has passed away. He ran the Ocala photo blog among others for years. Check out this link.
St. John The Evangelist Anglican Church participated in Doors Open this year. Located at the corner of Elgin and Somerset, the church has roots beginning in the 1850s with the current building more than a century old. The parish has a reputation as a welcoming and progressive church in the downtown core. If you're wondering about the construction out front, Elgin Street is in the midst of a major infrastructure overhaul. The exterior is built of stone and brick, while the interior is wood.
Stepping into the main entrance, one sees this.
The stained glass windows, more of which we'll see tomorrow, are lovely.
Here we have a general view of the sanctuary. There's a chapel off to the right side which I'll show tomorrow.
This memorial plaque caught my eye.
For today I leave off with this view of a lectern and the organ.
Nice interior. Beautiful stained glass.
ReplyDeleteThe light falling on the organ makes a beautiful picture. I'm intrigued by the walls which are like nothing I've ever seen in a church before.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the churches I saw in England ! Beautiful pictures !
ReplyDeleteThe organ looks quite modern. I was interested in the memorial plaques at the church I attended last Sunday - a drowning, a house fire and a shooting accident.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very beautiful church!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could listen to the organ ... I think it sounds perfect!
I am very curious if you go to photograph Saint Matthew Romanian Orthodox Church of Ottawa?
I think there are two churches (Saint Mary?) But I'm not sure.
Nice details in this church.
ReplyDeleteUma bela Igreja, aproveito para desejar a continuação de uma boa semana.

I like that old font in your fourth picture.
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful church. Lovely details inside and out. I love the stained glass. Prayers for Lowell's family.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, wishing you a great weekend ahead.
You certainly went through many open doors. You must have great stamina.
ReplyDeletei enjoy the organ ...enjoy all the little details ...what a beauty. ( :
ReplyDeleteThe door itself somehow looks strange in that place, the memorial plaque sure is... sad.
ReplyDelete@Nancy: that it is.
ReplyDelete@John: it's quite unusual.
@Gattina: it's a lovely church.
@Joan: the organ dates to the 1970s.
@Ella: if that's the church I'm thinking of, it's quite a way out, but I can keep it in mind.
@Italiafinlandia: there are, yes.
@Francisco: thank you.
@Laurie: it's quite a church.
@Tom: I certainly think so.
@Maywyn: I agree.
@Jan: so do I.
@Eileen: thanks.
@Anvilcloud: I didn't get into as many as I did last year. This one was the last on the Saturday, and I only got into the one on the Sunday, but that one will occupy a few days of time here on the blog.
@Beth: thank you.
@Iris: true.
That's a beautiful organ. Thanks again for the tour. I look forward to more. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful church, much simpler than some, which suits my taste.
ReplyDeleteRIP Lowell.
ReplyDeleteThe church is very dark. It needs those windows for sure.
Beautiful building and well kept up. I like to see groups that are progressive.
ReplyDeleteThere appear to be very strong wood tones inside this church.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful architecture.

ReplyDelete@Jeanie: mine too.
@Marie: it does.
@Red: it seems well looked after.

Sorry to hear about Lowell---I had emailed him last month and he responded an email to me.
ReplyDeleteAgain I like the Stained glass

Nice door and stained glass windows.
ReplyDeleteI'd read about the death of your blogger friend in another blog. Always sad to lose a friend even if just a virtual one. Condolences to his family.
The red brick exterior reminds me of the Presbyterian church I attended as a boy.
ReplyDeleteI like the candles at the doorway.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful church!
ReplyDeleteLovely captured church photos ~
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you,
