St. Simon and St. Jude Parish Church - Interior photos

     The interior of St. Simon and St. Jude Church is awe inspiring.  The blue ceiling is brilliant with gold stars - you can't stop looking up.  The interior was painted by Cathedral Painters of Nova Scotia in the 1990's.
     Also during the restorations in the 1990's a replica of the original altar was built.
     There's also an 1882 Louis Mitchell (Montreal) Organ in the church - during summer months recitals are held regularly. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/1880s-pipe-organ-being-restored-1.1055305
       St. Simon and St. Jude church is a must visit - well worth the drive from anywhere on Prince Edward Island!
Below are photos from the Side Chapel.

1950s House, Kingsboro

     This great little 1950's house is located on the East Point Road (Route 16) in Kingsboro, just after the turn off to Basin Head Fisheries Museum and Beach.  The house overlooks the Northumberland Strait to the south, from the rear of the house.
     Yet another abandoned Island home!  This house has nice detailing, especially with the pitched roof, side square bay, roof dormer and the multi-window north-facing sunporch.

Immediately beside the house, to the west, is the Singing Sands Inn...
