Very similar in architectural design to the historic Camiolle Presbyterian Church set in the foothills of the
Ruby Mountains of Northern Nevada. This church could also be
found in most rural communities in the United States and is
usually symbolic of a period of American History which we
usually attempt to recapture through this art form. The
creation of this piece encompassed four years and 8,900
man-hours. This art piece was appraised by the Fireman’s
Fund Insurance Company for a replacement value of $500,000.
Consider the following:
1. The church bell tolls on every hour of the day.
2. In the basement (completely visible) there is a
replica of the last supper table with actual fish, bread
and wine.
3. The church is completely furnished on the inside
including pews, pulpit, lighted candles and chandeliers.
4. All of the floodlights surrounding the church were
made from pen holders.
5. There is a replica of the Jewish Ark of the Covenant
in the rear of the yard.
6. A replica of the alter of Burnt Offering is situated
in the rear yard.
7. From the alter could be heard sermons in progress and
a choir delivering renditions of various spiritual
songs.
