I shot this in 2001. I'm still going through the enormous amount of film I've shot and scanning stuff I never got done in the past. If I live to be 150, I may finally get it all done! This church was built in 1851; it is the second oldest building in Allen County and in the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Interestingly, the oldest building, a house that belonged to Miami Indian Chief Jean-Baptiste de Richardville (yes, that was the Indian chief's name!) that was built in the 1820s, is about 800 feet away from the church! Neither building is in Fort Wayne's historic downtown; they were built in the middle of nowhere several miles southwest of the city. It took the city more than a century to grow enough to swallow up the land these buildings sit on. The area was annexed to the city in 1957. Fort Wayne was founded in 1794. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook
