From the Archives - North Dakota, 2012
The brutal North Dakota weather has done its work on this poor church.
Not bad though for being 103 years old.
With less than 100 people living in the little town of Jud,
the old church probably doesn't stand much of a chance for the future.
Still a nice sight.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a pretty building, it should have a paint work on the outside to look better. But probably the wood is not in a good condition anymore.
ReplyDeleteConsidering it is mad of wood and lasted all this time I thing it has done superbly well. Beautifull old church
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful piece of architecture.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad that it has been left to ruin. Someone should restore it. And in light of the age of some of the building in Europe, 103 years aint much!
ReplyDeletesure makes for great photos, though. love the b&w.
ReplyDeleteLooks like something out of a horror movie.
ReplyDeleteHe was very nice at the time of its glory, and now has a great picture. Regards.
ReplyDeleteA very nicely proportioned building, especially the tower. I hope that someone thinks about preserving some of these country churches before they all disappear.
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all, and I can see where a bit of paint and a tad more of TLC would truly bring this back to life.
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been a beauty...even is still. I wish someone would fix it up. Up by Lafayette, there is a church that was bought and turned into a quilt shop!
ReplyDeleteSad since it looks like it was a beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful old building John...
ReplyDeleteLooks nice in b&w, a little weathering makes things interesting, right?
ReplyDeleteSad. I'm sure it was beautiful in it day and in a way it still is.
ReplyDeleteDoes need a bit of TLC, but I'm sure its possible.
ReplyDeleteThe beaches in Tasmania are pretty remarkable really!

That's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have worn my camera out taking pictures of that wonderful church. I love paint peeling , weathered things. Love the black and white ones especially.
ReplyDeleteSad watching it fall down. But I guess, all things have their time, even St. Paul's Lutheran.
