Title: First United Methodist Mangum, OK
Post by: WTx on August 08, 2007, 08:34:17 PM
Well, had to make a run to Mangum,Ok for some other related business recently.  And, since I am currently on a rural church sight seeing tour I could not resist the temptation when I saw this one.  The gentleman who gave me permission to take interior photos told me the building was built in 1909.  Enjoy!

Spectacular Windows!  Absolutely Wonderful.

This looks like a peaceful place to sit and worship or even to just sit and let the peacefullness soak in.

The new churches that are built don't have the stained glass windows.  Some just have the coloured glass.  All in the interest of economy, I understand that, bbut There is character in these windows.

Yep, I have to agree!  Metal buidings just don't do it like these old designs.
