Description
Silver City, New Mexico I read on the sign that it was built in 1829
An Episcopal ministry was founded in Silver City in 1873, and was named The Church of the Good Shepherd by The Rev. Edward Silvan Cross who came to the church in 1889.
Land was bought for the church at its present location in 1891, the corner stone being laid in June of 1892 under the auspices of then-Rector, The Rev. Albert R. Llwyd and the Bishop of that time, Rt. Rev. J.M. Kendrick, D.D. The first services were held in the present church in the fall of 1893.

Wonderful shot of this old church, Richard. That's one heck of an incline on that street.

Another great capture...obviously don't get many cars parking in this street.. strong handbrake required, and turn your wheels towards the curb....!!

love your angle, and the bleaching sun on the church entrance. It looks like a late or early day shot. Wonderful contrasts of light and dark. And the red door and trim is a wonderful contrast too. A very sweet shot of a beautiful church. And great that the street was empty for you too...
(The Reverend Llwyd? I'll bet anything that person was Welsh! Or Celtic of some kind...can't beat those spellings!)
