And then I discovered this spring that the roof had collapsed from the weight of winter snow?
I'm sad to report, it's completely gone now.
The owner of the property was outside when I stopped to take these new photos. He informed me that he had just had it torn down last Wednesday. I know it would've fallen down on its own eventually anyway, but it's still sad to see it go. It was a familiar sight on the side of the road on my many trips to Arthur. That corner will always look so empty now.
Makes you wonder what happened to the church to cause it to turn into something like that. It might have had to do with a merge; we've had churches torn down when bigger churches were made and congregations combined. In fact, my church (New Bedford) is a combination of Hopewell and Deer Creek, two churches that have long since been torn down.
You really ARE from Kentucky.
besides, how could i pass up the opportunity to add a friend who lives in a town called weiner?
