    What an impressive and beautiful structure. The spire with the clock is wonderful. I bet the inside is a beautiful as the outside. Merry Christmas. genie

    As Genie wrote, it is an impressive structure and «Louis» is happy to read that it is still used as a church in this increasingly secular world.
    Typical of Presbyterian churches of the time: no stained glass. Calvin would not have approved! :-)
