Churches

The Three Sisters Churches exhibit an architectural radical practice which in essence is a reference to antiquity, an ode to religious Puritanism and all its elements, a tribute to mankind's adoration for his worship instincts. 

Erected in the 1800's, and maintained throughout the 1900's, these buildings remain proof that true craftsmanship can stand the test of time, endowing each structure with a stoically harmonious quality, where shapes and purpose seem aimed at proximity to the divine.

The aesthetic references and historical and political narratives carried in these walls are reminders of a time of religion played a part in segregationist politics.
