August 6, 2022: St. Patrick R.C. Church, Seneca Falls, New York Unusually among Catholic churches, St. Patrick's in Seneca Falls, New York has a floor plan that's laid out on a north-south axis: reportedly, the intent of architect Joseph B. Flynn was to allow a frontal view of the façade from across the Cayuga-Seneca Canal.

July 7, 2022: Calvary Lutheran Church, Seneca Falls, New York A visually striking presence on the western edge of the town of Seneca Falls, New York, Calvary Lutheran Church is a fine example of the "A-Frame" school of architecture that, at the time of its construction (1960), was becoming ever more popular Stateside after its post-World War II importation from Europe.
