There are two things about this building that are very unusual. One is the fenestration ( That's a fancy word for the windows ) They're of all shapes and sizes and arrangements. The way there's a round window over the rectangular ones, without an arch framing them, is something you don't see very often.The other is those corner turrets on the transepts and the apse. It's a fairly common idea, but I've seldom seen them this big. Add a couple more feet on each side and they'd be full-scale towers. I like the ledge around then and the decorative pilaster-sort-of-thingummy.
Another surprise. There's a semicircular apse but it's surrounded by a nice little gabled extension. I can't help but wonder if anyone's ever gotten a complete count of the windows. Judging from the interior pictures, it'd be a lot of fun trying.Thanks again to Kevin Hammer for the excellent pictures.
