I’m not sure but I think this painting shows Pigeon Creek in the foreground with St. Paul’s Episcopal Church steeple on the left and the Methodist Church steeple on the right. (The Methodist church used to have a huge steeple which was torn down and replaced with the current shorter one.) What do you think?

I dont think that from Pigeon Creek you would be able to see those steeples. I used to live on Gee St.. Thinking moredabout it, you might have been able to see that view if you were down at the picnic grounds across the tracks on Gregg St. That might be a possiblility.

And it was the Episcopal church that had the steeple.
