St. John’s Church Richmond

St. John's Episcopal Church and churchyard | Architecture Richmond

“Give me liberty or give me death.” I remember stepping into this building and it really felt like being sent back in time. The aged wood interior, the absurd old english of the scripture. There is something beautiful in the simplicity of this church. No frills, just a building purely designed to worship. I find it fascinating that this is the building they actually had to have the Virginia Convention after being kicked out by the Royal governor. I will always remember the overwhelming old feeling in this building, the smell, the look of the ancient wood. This historical significance is such an amazing aspect of a building. The amazing experiences that have happened inside.
