The door was finally removed from the front of the church, painted gray, and used as the back door. As you may have guessed, the image still appeared.

Presbyterian Church - The church bell that was rang every Sunday was rang by the same man for around 100 years. The man who rang the bell has long since died and the bell is no longer in use.
