Interesting place for the bell. Is the tower unsafe?

That looks like an old building I would assume the sheer weight of the bell was causing undue strain on the structure. Just a guess though.

Thanks, I was just wondering.

There was no one there when I photographed it so I do not know the real story. I bet it had beautiful windows and detail in its day...

Lovely shot of a southern church. Many of these are disappearing. Nice to see this one. The siding sure didn't improve its appearance and it was most probably gorgeous in its day.
