What is the story behind this church, in the tiny of hamlet of Mt. Sterling, just a few miles north of the Missouri border?
Where did the people go? Did they move away? Stop going to the church? All I know is that the beautiful church is slowly slipping away into oblivion. I’ve seen countless buildings such as this Gothic Revival church in my travels on the backroads around the United States, and I always am left wondering about its past, and what it’s future will be.

What’s amazing to me is 1) how beautiful and ornate the stained glass windows are, and 2) how they are almost completely intact, with the exception of the one with the board over it.

I agree, and I hope they remain intact and are not removed.
