St Bartholomew Catholic Church, Old Forge
(photo 11/19/2010)
The cornerstone gives a date of May 3, 1991 for this building which is undergoing some minor renovation. The internets give a founding date of 1897 for the parish and the current building apparently replaces a spectacular Queen Anne style wood-frame structure built in 1899 which had an ornate if somewhat grotesque tower reaching skyward like some sort of pagoda rocket.
The current arch glulam and brick building says oh-so 1991 though some of the furnishings may have been salvaged from an older church. An odd eclecticism.
