Church of St. Claire

 

While on a bus tour through Ontario, I grabbed a couple of quick photos of the abandoned Church of St. Claire in Upsala, Ontario.

This lovely old wooden church has seen better days. It sits near the CP main line through Ontario. I'm not sure when the church was built but it seems certain it was in the 1920s.

Upsala is named after the city in Sweden - Uppsala. Some of the founders of the town had Scandinavian-sounding last names like Nordal, Nordstrom, Hakanson, and Greenlund.
