1995.001.2565Description
8"h x 10"w black and white photo of Father Edward Dominick Fenwick, nee Norbert Fenwick, and his female congregation at an unnamed church in or near Hampton, Virginia. He stood in the aisle at the front of the pews with the women lined up across the front of the church between the pews and the altar rail.
The church had a checkerboard tile floor. The pews were dark wood. The windows along the side were double pointed arch lights in a single deep pointed arch opening. The bottom third of each leaded glass window was able to rotate open. The stations of the cross were on the walls between the window openings, each lit by a small light fixture. The altar was in a high alcove below a trinity window. The tabernacle was like a very elaborate church, with a crucifix in the center. A dark cloth hung on a rod behind the altar and below the window. Very narrow candlesticks and tapers were on the altar. A statue of the Virgin was high above the pews on the left and a statue of a male saint was high above the pews on the right. Two smaller statues were at each edge of the altar alcove.
The priest had on a white vestment covered with a long black cape.
