Mono Monday Unitarian Memorial church Fairhaven MA

Good Morning
Staying with my habit of sharing Mono shots on a Monday

In a couple of recent posts I have share soem shots of a walk I took in Fairhaven recently, and this post continues with shots from that walk, I did say I would share posts with more shots of each of the buildings and I thought some of the details onthe UNitarian Memorial Church in Fairhaven MA, would work well in a mono post and here we are.

the ornate details in the walls of the church wre so cool to see

A little bit about the Church
The Unitarian Memorial Church in Fairhaven Massachusetts was built, financed and donated to the Unitarians in 1904 by Henry H. Rogers in memory of his mother, Mary Eldredge Huttleston. The architects Brigham, Coveney and Bisbee of Boston designed this church in the 15th century Gothic perpendicular style.

The Unitarian Memorial Church is one hundred fourteen feet in height, one hundred feet long in body and fifty-three feet wide. The nave is thirty-two feet wide and seventy-one feet long. The main aisle is sixty-two feet long and six feet wide.

The church, parish house and former parsonage (now Harrop Center) of the Unitarian Society are so placed as to form three sides of a quadrangle, set among well-kept lawns and shrubbery.

Granite (locally quarried) with Indiana limestone decorative carvings dominate the exterior while marble and limestone carvings dominate the interior. All stonework artistry was created by forty-five Italian craftsmen brought to Fairhaven by Rogers.

it has eleven (11) bells in the church tower weighing 14,000 lbs. They are a D chime which was automated in 1970, eliminating the need to climb 150 stairs to play by hand.

but cool to see, the building in full is pretty amazing to see, but when you start looking in at all the details it gets even more cool to see
