Scenic Casey Co. KY: Green River Valley Separate Baptist Church

In the distance, it's easy to think one is re-passing the same churches twice or more in Casey County. It's those beautiful square-towers that, knowing no better, we call the "Casey County Style." The confusion occurred trying to negotiate the Rheber-to-Dunnville puzzle, even with the help of a cell-phone. Thought we were going by Salem United Methodist Church and had made a loop. But that wasn't the case. This particular architecture is found elsewhere - can't think of any extant church in Adair, but it does seem prevalent in Casey and other Bluegrass & Bluegrass-border counties. The style is most impressive with a really tall square tower on the Antioch Christian Church, 241 Antioch Church Road, Liberty, KY. Comments welcome. - EW
