Old Christ Church - Pensacola, Florida in B&W

"Old Christ Church" in Pensacola, Florida is the oldest building of worship in Northwest Florida. The Episcopalian residents of the city incorporated their congregation in 1829, began construction of the brick edifice in 1830 (according to a contract dated April 29, 1830, between the Wardens and Vestrymen of the church and two carpenters, Benjamin Boyer and Edward W Sewell), and held their first religious service in the new building in 1832. Bishop Jackson Kemper, Missionary Bishop of the Episcopal Church, consecrated Christ Church on March 4, 1838. During its 140 years of service, the church building has had a variety of uses. From 1832 until 1903 "Old Christ Church" housed the Episcopal congregation of Pensacola. Many members of the Christ Church congregation went into "exile" in Alabama during the Civil War, and during their absence Union soldiers used the church first as a barracks and later as a military chapel. In 1865, the congregation returned to "Old Christ Church" and utilized the building until 1903 when they moved to "New Christ Church" on Palafox Street. A Negro congregation used "Old Christ Church" from 1903 until 1905 when St Cyprian's Church was completed. "Old Christ Church" was then abandoned until 1933. The City of Pensacola acquired title to the building in 1936 with the stipulation that the old church be used as a museum or public library, and from 1937 until 1957 the Pensacola Public Library operated in the church. After a new library was erected, the Pensacola Historical Museum opened in "Old Christ Church" and, since 1960, some 200,000 visitors have viewed exhibits depicting local history here. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 3, 1974. And, all of the information above was taken from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments and final conversion to black & white were made in Photoshop CS6.
