Title

Christian Advent Church, Hillsboro

Description

Black and white image from plate negative of a wooden church. Sitting on a wood foundation, the church is gabled, with a bell tower extended to the front and above the roof. Double doors open out of the bell tower, and stairs proceed down to the street level. Single double-hung windows are set on either side of the bell tower in the front, and four more are spaced evenly down the visible side of the building. The belfry has louvered windows and a tall, pyramidal roof with a cross on top. Six men stand about the stairs. Three stand on a walkway in front of the stairs, two on the stairs and one man stands to their right. The men wear dark coats; one man has a long wool coat while the others have suit coats. All wear hats, bowlers and other similar styles. One man stands, arms crossed, in his shirtsleeves and vest with a knee-length apron. To the left of the image there is a large pile of dirt with a shovel thrust upright into it. The road in front of the image is muddy. Another small, cross-gabled white building is visible just beyond the church, and the tips of bare trees is visible just beyond that.
