Inside
The inside of the church shows the history of its building and renovations. Since all members were expected to help in the construction of the church, the interior columns are solid oak that people brought in from their farms as donations. The fluting in these Tuscan columns is often warped and split due to the primitive coal heating inside the church, that came with substantial temperature differences. The ceiling is original and made from products native to Providence including sand, Gipson, cow hair, and oyster shells. Some of the original panes in the Palladian windows remain and can be distinguished by their circular distortions since they were cut from blown roundels. |
