Mary T is keeping us busy with photo memes. Here's a new one called Window Views.
This is the Hope Presbyterian church in our neighborhood. I don't know what kind of church it was originally; it's certainly a sturdy old building. It looks like it's hundreds of years old, but Portland has only been a city for 150 years or so. Looks like I have more homework to do.
Lots of stained glass windows...
...but rather subdued.
This one has an opaque covering over it.
Truly, a belfry.

Love stained glass( and almost did a post on some ). Will save that for later. The lead shot here rather commands, wot? Marvelous!
What an incredible old building - and all the gorgeous windows - the perfect window views post!
I love architecture with character.
That's a beautiful church.
the first shot is spectacular! really shows how grand the building is
I love the entire series of photos!!
I particularly like pictures of churches and their windows - and this is an interesting building. Stained glass windows of course are deasigned to be seen from inside the church with the light behind them - so I bet they are not subdued viewed that way. I would love to see inside pics too. Thanks.

What a beautiful church. I love the windows.
An exceedingly interesting church built to fit around that corner! Oh my! Great Window Views post! :)
What an interesting design. My town doesn't have old buildings like that. Thanks for sharing.
