As I arrived in Fremont, I got extremely excited about all the steeples dotting the skyline. I normally like to get out and go inside, but it was 8am, cold, windy and raining. So today I decided to do a driving tour of Fremont, Ohio. I love old historic church and buildings...a true architecture passion and treat for my eyes!!! This lovely Gray Brick Church was built in 1843 and the Gothic Revival architecture with the distinctive square Bell Tower allows it to stand out in the crowd. The interior has a octagonal baptistry, Frescoes, Stain glass windows and massive chandeliers! This was the home church of President Rutherford B Hayes and his family. When back in the area I am going to have to get inside to see these gorgeous Frescoes and architecture treasures!
