Photographs of St John Church in 1952
Lee Meyer has provided photographs from a booklet that he owns and that was published in 1952 for the 75th anniversary (1877-1952) of St John Church. Below are six of the booklet's pictures of the church. (I think that the last shows the church basement -- correct me if I am wrong.)
All the images that I have from this booklet are in this Flickr set, where you can view and download them in larger sizes.
The booklet has some other old photographs that I will show in future blog articles.
