This photo of the St. John's Catholic
Church of Miltonsburg, Ohio was taken in November 13, 2002. The church is located about a mile northwest
of Miltonsburg on one of the highest hills in the area. The stone construction suggests the design
of the old churches of Europe. From its
position atop the hill it commands an excellent view of the surrounding
countryside. This stone structure was
almost certainly designed by someone who was young because its location high on
the hill makes access very difficult for people who would have trouble climbing
stairs. There is a lane up the hill at
the rear of the church to a point near the front door but there is practically
no parking around the church. A new
concrete ramp has been installed that may help the situation. The hillside around the church serves as a
cemetery. The building pictured above
is at an altitude of 1425 feet and is located at latitude N 39o
50.263' and longitude W 081o 10.525'.
