Columbarium Garden, Kirk In The Hills, MI
Kirk in the Hills Presbyterian Church (1958) in Bloomfield Township, Michigan was designed by architects George D. Mason; Wirt Rowland had made preliminary designs for the church before World War II, but Rowland died in 1946 and the Mason design was not based on the Rowland sketches. Services were held in the Undercroft beginning in 1952 and continued during the construction of the church until a disastrous fire destroyed most of the roof. The Kirk held its first services in the sanctuary on November 23, 1958. The church itself is modeled after Scotland's Melrose Abbey. Set on 40 acres (160,000 m2) of beautifully landscaped lakeside grounds, Kirk in the Hills constitutes one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Southeastern Michigan.

The first time I saw this church, I couldn't believe my eyes. This is a wonderful piece - bet they would love a copy of it.
