Description
Photograph of a Christian church in Watsonville, ca.1900. The main entrance to the church stands at the top of two staircases underneath a stone porch on the left with the tall steeple directly above. Two stone walls stand on either side of the steeple with large, arched, stained glass windows and roofs that are shaped in the fashion of Spanish architecture. A second, smaller entrance stands at center below a tower-like portion of the church which is topped with a darkly-shaded dome. The wall on the right is larger with a third entrance at the top of a staircase and a rounded, protruding room at the wall's center. A second tower-like portion of the church can be seen on the right with a dome roof and a lightly-colored, wooden structure stands further down the street. A metal fence lines the sidewalk further down the street on the left where another lightly-colored, wooden structure stands.
