Keachi Presbyterian Church in Keachi, Louisiana – History in Nutshell
It has a pedimented portico across the entire front. It also has four square Doric columns with matching pilasters.
In the 1890s the portico was enclosed with clapboarding. If you look closely you can see where the new clapboarding meets the old clapboarding. The clapboarding was placed behind the columns so no original features were lost or damaged. The new enclosure gave the church a new double leaf front door and front windows.

Keachi Presbyterian Church in Keachi, Louisiana – My Visit
Back in February I was passing through the area and made a side trip to photograph the Keachi Presbyterian Church in Keachi, Louisiana and nearby structures in town. I ended up photographing only the exterior of the church and plan on visiting again and hope to check out the interior at some point.
The church is in great shape and is beautifully maintained. There’s a small building near the church. It matches the design of the old church. Its some sort of an out building. It may even be a fancy outhouse since most of these old churches were built before plumbing was available.
About the Images
The images were shot on gloomy day using my Sony a6000 and my Sony SELP18105G E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS with a Gobe UV Filter using a monopod. I then edited the images with Adobe Lightroom CC and Topaz Labs Denoise AI and Topaz Labs Sharpen AI and DXO NIK Collection to clean up the images, remove noise, and recover the lost details.
