Turin, New York - Handmade Russian Orthodox Church

Beautiful little building -- does not appear to be open to the public -- but you can see quite well from the (seasonal) road. There's a fence along Milkhouse Road posted with "No Trespassing" signs.

The builder's wife, in a newer home close to the road, did give us permission to look around the outside of the church. She said inside is in bad shape. On her husband: "He was a wonderful artist, but not much of an architect." [PLS, 03/21/2009]

Greek Orthodox church. Turin, New York - Handmade Russian Orthodox Church

There is a small Russian Orthodox Church built by hand. The individual who built it also lived in a small house behind the structure by a waterfall. It's quite beautiful. [Susan, 07/24/2008]

[RA: Not small enough to qualify as a tiny church, really, but it reminds us of something transplanted from a Fairyland theme park....]
