  • Not a place for religious debate, and all said so far is gobbledygook! This is where you're supposed to comment on the building, which is an absolutely gorgeous structure. It's an odd mixture of styles yet has much of the grandeur of a Gothic Cathedral. At some point the decision was made to leave dark blotches in the local granite in place when constructing it, and they're clearly visible in its walls. It's an extremely interesting piece of architecture with an equally interesting history.
