Christ Episcopal Church

Look at the building as a transplant. Frank Wills, an English-born architect working in New York, designed it as a Gothic Revival church in the manner of an English village parish, adapted to Louisiana materials, and George Ament built it in 1853. Wills was Exeter-trained, became architect to the New York Ecclesiological Society, and died in Montreal in 1857 at 34 while working on a cathedral there. The church and its churchyard were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
