See Picture, the Old Church.
Calvary Presbyterian Church (Old Church) - 1882- Designed by a premier architect of the time, Warren Williams, is arguably the finest example of a late Victorian-era church in the state. The exterior is carpenter Gothic, with slender pointed arches, elegant window tracery, a belfry tower, and buttresses. Details of an eclectic interior include Gothic vaulted ceilings of gilt wooden ribs and white plaster, Renaissance-style cast-iron columns, Victorian furniture and stained glass, and ornate plaster window moldings in the Baroque style. There is a historic Hook and Hastings Tracker organ and a free concert is given every Wednesday at noon.
The Old Church, has outlasted all the other churches before it. A self-guided tour is possible between 11 and 3 Tuesday through Saturday. Free admission.
For more info, go to, the old church dot org.
NEXT is the Portland Building and Portlandia, only about 6 blocks to our east.
With many more.
But before that, what makes Portland weird, and unique? On request.
Does anyone have any questions?
