1st Presbyterian, Fordyce

The building, on the National Register of Historic Places, is 100 years old this year, although the church was organized in 1883. 

The windows, I'm afraid, are badly in need of fresh paint.

There's some nice Victorian scrollwork in the stained glass. 

I'm at a loss to explain the deterioration of the lead.  It's not a simple matter of being exposed to the elements.  Since the damage is around the solder joints, I suspect that an acid flux was used when the windows were built and was never adequately washed off.

Greenville First Baptist, Fordyce

Established in 1904 as 'First Colored Baptist Church.'

1st United Methodist, Fordyce

The non-continuous roof line, the multiple stories on the left and the single story sanctuary on the right might give this church an uneven appearance were it not for the totally symmetrical entry and grand dormer in the center of the building.

And those colors just tie it to the earth.

Around the corner is the Lighthouse,
