This is one of my favorite houses. The archtecture perfectly captures the feeling of those old Southwest churchs if not the form. And complete with a replica of a Japanese bamboo fence! There are a couple of variations of this church and some are more colorful.
Still a bit unusual. It is a standard sized house and in great condition. It only needed a bit of cleaning. I suggest that you upload your examples of Hacienda churches here. Notice the GREEN raffia type fence. This building is 7 1/2" X 4" base and is 4 3/4" high. ENJOY

The "Hacienda King" strikes again. Wonderful! Do you think there was a steeple with this one?

I have never seen this church...

I have never seen one with a steeple but as I have only seen 3 I hardly have seen all of them. I personally don't think it needs a steeple.

Tom, Could you measure the window openings for this - I feel a new set of window graphics coming on. :-)

Sure thing Paul. The round window OPENING is 1/2" in diameter. The smaller stained glass window is 1 5/16 x 3/8" and the larger window has an opening of 1 5/8" x 9/16. I think these are the same as you already have. Tom

Thanks - they're very similar to the ones Brian drew for Ted, but the colors are different, plus the hand-drawn-looking lines between the different colors make this different enough to capture.
