Description
Trinity Anglican Church, a little village church with a totally unique steeple, was built in 1853 by Simon Gibbons. It is located on Highway 103 near Jordan Falls, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Though seemingly impossible, the exterior of Trinity Anglican could actually be original. A wood framed church with a wood steeple/bell tower, under its faded and worn paint are original looking shiplap boards and shingles. Original siding is not terribly rare, but how long has it been since anyone has gone to the trouble to make diamond shingles? While admittedly the sanctuary, chancel and small hall at the rear have asphalt shingles, the steeple remains covered with diamond wood shingles.
At one time there were six churches in Nova Scotia which sported variations of this type of tower roof, which came to be known as Rhineland helmets.

Fantastic find and description! Those shingles were probably hand shaved and cedar lasts a long time. L/F
