The sign says, "A beacon of light," and it is for anyone interested in New England architecture. It is simply called "South Ferry Church. " Recognized as an architectural masterpiece on the National Historic Register, it sits out in the middle of nowhere, high on a hill overlooking Narragansett Bay. At first glance it is easy to drive on by, but please stop and look! Here is a house of worship build with love. It is an example of inspired design and immaculate workmanship. There is exquisite detailing everywhere, from steeple to shingles. The windows flood the interior with the sunrise and the shutters are an unexpected touch, green punctuation marks across the sides that repeat the design of the door. Understated use of quiet stained glass on a few panes is the final touch. Go see, and bring your camera.
