Description

Water color by Father Stephen Tushak of Saint Inigoe's Manor Church at Saint Inigoe's, Md. It is a summer scene. The small brick church is surrounded by a low brick wall. A white stone walk leads to the door and continues alongside the church. Many gravestones are visible in the lawn around the church. The plain gable roof curves slightly over decorative wood at the eaves. Very near the end of the roof over the door is a tiny steepled support for a golden globe surmounted by a cross. About one quarter of the way from the end of the roof peak, an open, arched belfry straddles the peak. The belfry has a pryamidal roof topped with a golden globe and another cross. The door to the church is centered on the end wall. Above it is a flat arch and a keystone of contrasting brick. Above that is a recessed rectangular panel which is either a very small window or a space for the name of the church. The line of the eaves is defined by either decorative wood or brick. A palladian window fits nicely into the triangle created by the roof peak and the window top is outlined in contrasting brick. On the long side of the building there are three tall, eighteen-light arched windows that have brick arches and keystones as their only ornament. The sacristy has the same roof line as the church and has an outside end chimney. The watertable of the church is marked by contrasting brick.
