Makawao Union Church Maui Hawaii


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Makawao Union Church Maui Hawaii
Makawao Union Church Maui Hawaii
Founded in 1861 this church has celebrated 150 years. It is the 3rd rendition of the church and was designed by architect Charles William Dickey (1871-1942). It is a Gothic design in the style of an English village church.
It combines a Norman tower with a distinctively Hawaiian roofline. Four stained glass windows and the bell were reused from the old building. A Seth Thomas clock has three faces on the Norman style tower.
It continues to have an active interdenominational congregation.
