Methodist Episcopal Church, Waterman, IL

This remarkable building in the hamlet of Waterman, in northwestern Illinois (pop. 1506) about a dozen miles south of DeKalb, has settled beautifully into its landscape; it’s now surrounded by shrubs and shade trees that only enhance its charm. Waterman has only partial street views, however, so I can only see the roofscape of a large addition at the rear (far right in this view).
