Architecture was an interesting topic. The city where I live has many interesting buildings with gargoyles atop them.. but I never got into town to get them.. so in preparation for our trip this week, we visited a quaint little town called Saxonburg. It's a most beautiful little village... and it has a claim to fame world wide too..
Join in the fun on Foto Friday at Rebecca's blog.. the more the merrier!
At the one end of Saxonburg is a place called Roebling Park named for the man who founded Saxonburg and also designed the Brooklyn Bridge.This is a gazebo at one side of the park.
This is a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge
Across the street from Roebling Park is this interesting building that was once a home for some wealthy resident.. now it is an insurance agency.
The intersection of Main Street and Saxonburg Blvd.. one of 3 churches in this tiny village. I thought it's design was unique.
On the opposite corner is the UP Church with its arched glass windows and the thingy atop that looks like butterflies, though I didn't get a clear enough picture to zoom in on it. Sigh......
On the other side of town is the huge stone Lutheran Church. I think it odd that churches have red doors. Someone called that to my attention one day.. I'd never noticed before that. Anyone know what the significance of red doors is?
Those three churches are so unique. My husband Pastors a tiny rural church that has white clapboard siding and a steeple with a cross....so the one church reminded me of here :)
