West of Downtown Union, Franklin County

Heading west from the square and downtown, we come across St. Paul Lutheran Church, founded in 1921 and originally met in an older building. The current church is from 1952.

Houses are relatively simple in town.

But I did find this nice Queen Anne Style house back closer to the courthouse.

Out southwest of town, this now-demolished bridge once took traffic over the Bourbeuse River, and has now been replaced with a modern span.
