Bethesda-By-The-Sea, 549 North Lake Trail, Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, FL
Deconsecrated 1925, this Episcopal Church with semi-detached windmill-like tower, has been a local landmark on Lake Worth since it was erected in 1895, the first permanent substantial church to be built in the Palm Beach area. It was used as a church when the only transportation was by boat on Lake Worth, or by bicycle trail along the shore. It is a good example of the Shingle style, reminiscent of the Richardsonian Romanesque, with its shingled arched porches, octagonal forms at each end, and the single-chamber interior with well-proportioned hammer-beam ceiling.
