Located in very rural Saskatchewan.
Visited last month. When I was here I was by a carload of women that pulled up if I was a Stadnyk (the name on the bottom of the sign). I replied I was not, my only connection to the church was that I like to see churches in the middle of nowhere. Apparently at one time there were a lot of people in the area with the last name Stadnyk. They were Stadnyk's and here to revisit some family history.
They arrived as I was leaving. There was no entry to the church. The church is not brick, it is a kind of tarpaper meant to look like brick from a distance.
Bell tower.
I wonder if the reddish "kind of tarpaper meant to look like brick from a distance" is "insulbrick," which was a popular building material in the mid-20th century?
ReplyDeleteYou are likely right.
DeleteI was here this past winter. Yes, it's Insulbrick™.
DeleteYou seem to get everywhere before me.
DeleteA carload of women in the middle of nowhere asking if you were a Stadnyk is a pretty special event. Were you there on a Sunday by chance?
ReplyDeleteIt was a Sunday.
DeleteLooks as though that siding has stood up well to the elements. Well kept surroundings too.
