This is the Butler Street Christian Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The Church's website states: "The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by Rev. S.E. Poe in 1852. The John L. Grant Estate donated property located on the corner of Butler Street (now known as Jesse Hill Jr. Drive) and Coca Cola Place.
A wooden frame structure was torn down to make possible the erection of the present church when Rev. A. J. Stinson was pastor. The church became known as Butler Street Colored Methodist Episcopal Church (changed to Christian Methodist in 1954). A new church was built in 1920 on this site under the leadership of Rev. H. W. Evans. While the church was being built, the Butler Street family held joint worship service with Holsey Temple C.M.E. Church. There were many outstanding pastors between the years of 1882 to present." www.bscmechurch.org/about-us.html.

When the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Bloomfield was built in 1961, it was a bit controversial. Many people were unsure about its severely modern architecture. Situated on an odd-shaped plot of urban land across a narrow street from West Penn Hospital, the unusual angles and arches and walls of stained glass have created a sanctuary which is at the same time large and intimate, and not at all austere as are many modern churches.
Because of declining city population, Immaculate Conception has merged with two other churches, another in Bloomfield and one in Lawrenceville, to form St. Maria Goretti Parish. It remains one of the few churches in the city whose doors can be found open every day.

The Church of Saint Mikhail the Archangel was built in 1778-1783 by two brothers Yurevyh, local noblemen who had a large manor here. It's believed that the architect was the famous Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov. Unusual two-story church with the winter church on the first floor and the summer church on the second floor. The exterior was plastered and whitewashed in 1906.
The last owner of the Podzhigorodovo manor was nobleman Vladimir Sokolov. He was a revolutionary and his party nickname was Volsky. Vladimir Lenin visited Sokolov before the 1917 revolution. There's a photo of Lenin playing chess with Sokolov in his Podzhigorodovo manor house.
Olga remembers climbing the bell tower as a child. The church was used then to store chemical fertilizer. She still recalls the smell of the fertilizer and the treacherous circular staircase.
The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. Services are presently held in the first floor winter church. The second floor summer church has not been restored. Like many rural churches in Russia, the Church of Saint Mikhail the Archangel is undergoing slow restoration and still dominates the surrounding landscape.

Chester Cathedral dates from between 1093 and the early 16th century, and had many alterations in the intervening period. The site had been used for Christian worship since Roman times. There was a Saxon abbey here from the mid-10th century, but this was razed to the ground in around 1090. In 1093 a Benedictine monastery was established here, and in 1541 this became a cathedral of the Church of England, following the dissolution of the monastries by King Henry VIII.
The abbey church, beginning with the Lady Chapel at the eastern end, was extensively rebuilt in Gothic style during the 13th and 14th centuries. At the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the cloister, the central tower, a new south transept, the large west window and a new entrance porch to the south had just been built in the Perpendicular style, and the southwest tower of the façade had been begun. The west front was given a Tudor entrance, but the tower was never completed.

The church of Saint Eustachius (Eustace) in the centre of Tavistock, Devon, was named after the Roman centurion who became a Christian. It was dedicated by Bishop Stapledon in 1318 though there are very few remains of that building today. It is effectively a wool church and was rebuilt and enlarged into its current form between 1350 and 1450, at which time the Clothworkers' Aisle (an outer south aisle sometimes known as St George's Chapel, and seen on the right of the picture) was added. It was funded by Constance Coffyn, the widow of three wealthy wool merchants of Tavistock. This was completed in 1447 and is an indication of the growing importance of the wool and textile industry to the local economy. The trade was protected by a 1467 statute. The whole is in the Perpendicular style and consists of a nave and chancel, both with two aisles, tower and outer south aisle. It possesses a lofty tower supported on four open arches, one of which was reputedly added to accommodate the 19th century "tinners" or tin miners.
