An updated edition of the multiple best-selling, 1986 catalogue of the resilient stock of pre-1918 Prince Edward Island churches. Seen through the eyes of an architect, this collection features colour photographs, BW archival material, floor plans and offers historical sketches and insights into the origins of the Island's church architecture. Proudly and dutifully maintained, this building stock has seen a remarkably low rate of attrition on PEI since 1900.
