Carpenter Greek on Solomons Island

Solomons United Methodist Church is a small church in Solomons, Maryland, built as a simple but well-massed Carpenter Greek structure. Constructed by a local master builder, the building reflects the restrained, timber-framed ecclesiastical architecture common to Chesapeake waterfront communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. - AsNotedIn
