| Description |
One of many historic sites in Mechanicsburg. Ohio, a village of about 1800 population. Wikipedia has these interesting details: Constructed in 1893,[3]:513 dedicated in 1894,[4]:48 and rededicated in 1895,[3]:513 the Church of Our Saviour is a Gothic Revival structure.[1] In its early years, its pipe organ, brass altar, and windows were deemed its most distinctive elements,[3]:513 all of which prompted a local author to declare that "both the exterior and interior are very attractive" in 1907.[4]:48 Built of brick on a stone foundation and featuring elements of wood and stone,[6] the single-story church is covered with a composite roof rising to a central gable. The windows that attracted the attention of authors in the early twentieth century are stained glass; most are ogive windows, but the center of the facade features a rose window. A square brick tower with a wooden belfry sits at one corner of the building; additional stained glass windows are placed in the tower, and ornamental wooden carvings adorn the belfry.[7] Architecturally, it is not unique; three of Mechanicsburg's five historic church buildings were constructed in the 1890s,[8]:6 and four of the five are brick buildings with stained-glass ogive windows.[8]:2 |
