Lightening Rods

This is New St. John’s Baptist Church in Lancaster County, Virginia.

I count 12 lightening rods that are visible in this view of the church. I am surprised that so many are needed on a church.

I took this picture with my phone, from a moving vehicle, and under duress. The driver was yelling, “You’d better take it now. Hurry! Traffic is speeding up! It is your last chance!” Who can focus under those conditions,

I couldn’t find a date when this church was built.

 

According to an article which mentions this church, the architecture is said to be a mixture of Gothic arches and Victorian features.
