Father Pitt

Now Christ Community Church, this is a typical smaller Gothic church with a corner tower. The stone has not been cleaned of its decades of soot, making this one of our dwindling number of remaining black-stone churches.

Addendum: The architect was O. M. Topp; the church was built in about 1907.¹

A matching Sunday-school wing includes a round-backed auditorium.
