I grew up attending church here and was confirmed into membership in the sanctuary as a young teen. So nice to see that it has been so meticulously cared for over the years. As mischievous youngsters, we always tried to find the entrance to climb up into the tower, with no success! Later and while in high school, my family switched to Plymouth Congregational in the Grove which is also a lovely study of architecture as it is made entirely of coral rock. Wonderful memories for me, for sure.teaorwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569214378018984731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-55638381395913804082011-02-28T10:16:49.475-05:002011-02-28T10:16:49.475-05:00Devoted, I'm sorry to have missed the Catholic...Devoted, I'm sorry to have missed the Catholic church down the street -it sounds great if it's similar to this one!

Fascinating! I thought this one fits into the Mediterranean fantasy that Merrick was creating in Coral Gables.
