Old Scotch Church, Hillsboro
Title
Old Scotch Church, Hillsboro
Description
Photograph of a white church in the Carpenter Gothic Style. A graveyard with a number of stone monuments dominates the foreground of the image. Only one side of the church is visible; it features a steep roof sloping down to white walls with three narrow windows with pointed arches between four narrow buttresses. The buttress at the front of the church extends from the building. An octagonal steeple extends up from the front of the building, with steep gables and narrow windows. The roof is cut off at the top of the image. At the rear of the main building is a smaller section, featuring the same steep roofline but shorter in height. Two double-hung paned windows with no ornamentation are visible. The church is bracketed by trees, both pine and deciduous; the latter trees are in full leaf. Visible headstones for the Mays and Meek families.
