The Castle Across from St. Ann Church Earlier today my sister posted a photo Facebook that I'd taken of St. Ann Catholic Church in Frankfort. That post reminded me that, while I was seeking a place to photograph the church (and its cross), I'd snapped a photo of the house across the road from the church. So here's that image.
