St. Paul’s
On Friday Dee and I went to St. Paul’s Methodist Church so I can take photos for my Art History class. The project was to goto a church in Houston that has gothic elements in it’s architecture. I choose St. Paul’s because I remember it looking really nice and had a tall bell tower. The sky was really nice during the afternoon. I could only take photos of the exterior because I would have to call them to get permission. It was Friday afternoon and it didn’t look like anyone was there. Plus I just didn’t want to ask.
The church looks like it is a gothic inspired modern designed church. Probably during the Gothic revival period. The strongest elements that I recognized are the elaborate decorative sculpting, the portals in the west entrance, pointed arches, and many finials. It’s a beautiful church. I would go if it wasn’t so far away.
