Reaching for the Heavens

            St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
Augusta Avenue (US 250) View
Staunton, Virginia 

Address given for the church is 118 North New Street, at parish office and entrance to church parking, although the church fronts on Augusta Avenue.  Several steps must be climbed from Augusta Avenue to reach the entrance, and the rise from street to church makes getting a good photo of the church difficult -- at least if you don't want to include the wires that pass in front of the church.  As I chose to exclude the wires, significant perspective correction was needed to make vertical lines vertical, but resulting in exaggerated steeple height.  The beautiful Gothic Revival church was built 1895-97 at cost of $25,451 on the site of a smaller first church built, which had been built in the 1840s.  The church is part of Stuart Addition Historic District, added to National Register of Historic Places, 1984 (84003604).
