Description

Methodist Episcopal Church fire. 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" black and white photo. Note on back: "This is the church just after the tower fell. It doesn't look like we will go to church next Sunday does it." See comment area for another observation.

Context

Waseca church: Methodist Episcopal. See accession number 1.04.201. Methodist Episcopal Church; the first wood structure, gothic windows, church bell steeple with cross at top, circular window sits above main entrance. Note from a duplicate postcard of this same scene addressed to Reinike in Byron: "this is certainly a fire which you probably heard of. The M. E. church burned to the ground. It will be rebuilt but they had only $5500 on church furniture and pipe organ. The question of consolidating will be agitated. Regards to all, Louise."
