Texas Sized in New York August 31, 2009

Posted by Emily in : New York, Photography , trackback

On the corner of Church Street in Palmyra, there are four massive church buildings.

Each, separate denominations.

And each building was established well over 100 years ago.

This is one of the churches.

I love the architecture on this building.

It is so detailed. It’s the prettiest of the four churches on this corner . . . in my opinion, of course.

I would now like to mention this building:

It’s located right behind the church building above.

This is a small portion of an Elementary School.

Did you read that last sentence? AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

I’m not sure about you, but my grade school didn’t take up an entire city block!

The school building is beautiful. It was built in 1929, and if you look closely at the windows, you can see that some of the panes are original.

WOW.

I didn’t photograph the entire building because I don’t have the right lens to capture the enormity of this school. Trust me, it’s HUGE.

I know that most things are bigger and better in Texas, but some of these “Texas sized” buildings in this small town can hold their own.

I’m just sayin’.
