This is the original building of St George's Episcopal Church in Germantown, dedicated in 1937. Prior to that, church members met in private homes. You can see how it looked years ago, in this undated photo below (credit: Images of America: Germantown, Russell S. Hall).
This building was later used as a chapel when a larger sanctuary was built, and now the church has an even newer facility at a different location (on S. Germantown Rd). The larger church facility on this property is now used for their elementary school, and they have also built a large high school complex at yet another location (on the Germantown/Collierville city limit line).
I just love this doorway, and I'm so glad that they've maintained this lovely chapel so well.All colored bold script should provide a clickable link for more information. Please click on the photo to see an enlarged version.

It looks very nice. We have a Catholic Church a block over from us that uses an older Church building as a chapel.
That is a great building. What is it used for now?
Well preseved, looks like a homey and inviting church.
Lovely church with a lot of character. I think some of the larger churches are too cold. . . .
Do you still have snow? We hit mid-50s today, so what was left from yesterday is gone today. . . .
That is so lovely!
Very pretty little church. I think it is the railing that makes the doorway so lovely.
I too love the doorway. What a sweet little building, so darling. It must look very pretty in the spring. :)
Beautiful little church! You photo enhances the value of the doorway.
Lovely. Now, I want to go inside!
I really love your church photos!
great post, these photos are beautiful... i love being able to see an old photo and compare it to more recent ones... very cool..
This is so familiar to me, Southern Heart, because my grandchildren attend that school.
These are very nice photos with the touch of snow to highlight things.
Thanks for the visit.
What a lovely church! I bet people find it so attractive they end up going inside it and before they know it, it's time to worship! :D
