Description
Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy...
Erected in 1882, This is the only church still standing in Bodie, and the only Protestant church erected. E.J. Clinton of San Francisco restored the church and held the last service here in 1932. Since then, the interior has been badly vandalized, and the Ten Commandments painted on oilcloth which was once hung behind the pulpit (Thou shalt not steal) has been stolen. The Catholic Church on Wood Street, also built in 1882, burned down in 1928.

A sad tale for this aging relic of the past, but still attractive in its rite of passage into modern times. Love the warm wood tones against this deep blue sky! L&F
