Maybe it’s the converging shapes or the peeling layers of history, this photograph of restoration at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church speaks of pure midwestern americana. Purchased shortly after World War II from the U.S. Army, St. Luke’s was quite literally moved from an Army post at Jefferson Barracks to its current spot in south St. Louis County. Nestled between adorable gingerbread-esque houses and unimaginative strip malls, the church continues to sustain itself sixty eight years later. It also, interestingly, is the church where my wife and I wed four years ago.
