Bell Tower

As you can see the green, this photo was taken the end of October and is part of the Country Club Christian Church complex.  I was lazy this weekend after my drive to and from Alabama and did not get out for photos.

Eagle Statue

This Eagle statue, originally stood in a courtyard of a Japanese temple.  It was made in the 1700's in Japan and was in the Japanese exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.  J. C. Nichols bought the piece and installed in Kansas City in 1935.

Country Club Christian Church II

I received a few comments about this church using Country Club in it's name.  The church is named after it's neighborhood known as the Country Club District.  I agree I found the name odd also.  I've seen other church names that include their neighborhood.

As you can see in the photo to the left one of the spires (not sure of the correct term) at the top of the center structure is missing.  I know 1920 is not all that old but I also found that the church is preserving it's history with it's renovations.

Country Club Christian Church

While researching this church built in 1920, I found an article that renovations have started in the week in a half since I took these photos.  Many of the details on the outside are weather worn.  I also read that the stain glass windows will be replaced.   It is a beautiful old church.

Inside the Country Club Christian Church I found this beautiful ceiling.  Even with a burnt out light I thought this turned out well.

Country Club District

The Country Club District is just south of the Country Club Plaza, both developed by J C Nichols.  This is a group of historical upscale neighborhoods.  The area was built in stages between 1906 and 1950.  This area goes on forever with tall tree lined streets, deep lawns and beautiful homes.
