This look familiar to you?

When covering events, this always happens. I always grab these shots because at least one parent will say something like "I can't see my kid or you didn't get a group shot!?!?!"

Well, this is why. But at least they all got the shot :)

Anywho, covering the Johnson & Wales Alumni Game in Providence, RI and the parent photographers stepped in.

The Old Round Church
Richmond, Vermont
June 2024

"Instead of creating a traditional Spartan church house, the architect William Rhodes designed the meeting house in the shape of a 16-sided polygon with a central belfry. One legend says that the church was built this way thanks to an old legend that says a house with no corners leaves nowhere for the devil to hide." - Atlas Obscura

From Buildings of New England: "The Old Round Church in Richmond, Vermont, was built in 1812-13 under the direction of local craftsman William Rhodes to be the Town Meeting Hall and place of worship for members of five denominations in the area. While the church is known as the Old Round Church, it is actually a sixteen-sided polygon, but I think it is safe to say the Old Round Church sounds better than the Old Hexadecagon Church… Traditionally, 18th- and 19th-century meetinghouses were rectangular in form and many followed popular builders’ pattern books which standardized the rectangular Wren-Gibbs architectural type. Experimentation was generally limited to decorative detail, steeples, porches or the orientation of the entrance, and not to the form, which is why this building is so unique. Within a few decades of the church’s opening, the founding denominations began to move out, some of them to build worship places elsewhere in town. In 1880, the Old Round Church reverted to the Town of Richmond and continued in use as the town’s meeting hall until 1973, at which time safety concerns forced its closure to the public.The Richmond Historical Society was formed in 1973, shortly before the church had to be closed and in 1976, the town deeded the church to the society, who then gathered funds to restore the building, protecting it from a much darker future. The Old Round Church remains one of the most unique architectural designs in Vermont and is always a treat to drive by in all seasons!"
