This is a weird looking building. I first saw it when I was visiting a fellow Marine in the Gamma Lodge (A nursing home) down the street. He was 94, a Marine who fought on Iwo Jima, Saipan, and Tinian, then got called back in for Korea and was in the most ugly battle of all...the Chosin Reservoir. He passed away the day after I photoed this church

The church building looks as if it was built as a brick building. The white frame pieces on each side of the front piece look like an addition at a later date. Could be original, but does not look that way.
The building itself goes back with alternating frame and brick construction. The is an addition at the read (looks like a home) and a pole barn construction (very small ) addition on the side..All in all a very strange looking building.

There is a Baptist Church just up the street and around the corner that is weird shaped, almost the same as this.
