View down the center aisle of a small church toward the chancel, with crimson carpeting, plain wooden pews, and an altar draped in red before a tall stained-glass window. Exposed dark timber roof trusses and hanging lantern-style fixtures frame the white walls, and a simple cross stands at the center of the altar. The unadorned, mid-century Protestant interior is typical of American church building and remodeling of the 1950s and 1960s; no caption identifies the congregation or town.
