Description

Black and white 3 1/2"h x 3 1/2"w photo of Christ Church in Chaptico. This view is of the side of the church. The building has a gable roof. The steeple is a large square attached to the center of the front of the building, providing a portico over the front door, but the details are obscured by trees. The church is dark brick, but all trim and window frames are white. There is a small apse on the gable end to the right. On the first floor of the building are five round arch windows. The left most window has fifteen lights and a "fan" above and twelve lights below. The next four windows have leaded glass. There are small screens for each window, but they are at strange angles. There is a screen unit for an entire window lying on its side on the ground. A small chimney pierces the roof near the eave between the third and fourth window. The tapered roof of the apse reaches about halfway up the gable end. There is a window visible in the gable end and what may be three windows in the end of the apse. There are many grave monuments on this side of the building.
