FLORIDA CARPENTER GOTHIC CHURCHES is a book of photographs depicting the exterior of the known Carpenter Gothic Churches in Florida. The book contains photographs and historical information about 39 such churches in Florida Most of these wooden churches were built in the period from 1870 to 1910. They are a link to Florida’s heritage and history and a reminder that you can still enjoy Old Florida amidst all of the modern development of recent years. Most of the churches are still active and extend a welcome to visitors. The book also includes a location map for each church.Carpenter Gothic was an architectural style and construction technique that took advantage of Florida’s abundant timber resources and the fact that there were plenty of skilled house carpenters in the state. The elements of this architecture replicate in wood some of the elegant gothic features of larger stone and masonry churches in other parts of the country. These elements include narrow pointed stained glass windows and wooden siding.The buildings were typically made from old growth pine with steeply pitched roofs. Some churches had steeples, some did not. Quite often the siding was of board and batten construction. There may have been more than 60 such churches in Florida at one time, and they were usually among the first buildings constructed in a town.The book also contains photos and historical information about 5 other Florida churches that are probably not Carpenter Gothic, but are interesting nonetheless.FLORIDA CARPENTER GOTHIC CHURCHES is written by Mike Miller, a Florida resident since 1960. Mike is a graduate civil engineer from the University of Florida and has traveled all over the state on both business and pleasure. He writes for and publishes his own website, Florida-Backroads-Travel.com. Many of the photographs are from the website.
