The church appears to be in great shape, considering its age. Out of idle curiosity, what denomination is it?

No, I imagine it wasn't originally a Methodist church. But I'm glad it remains a church, and that the structure has been kept in good shape.

I believe .that is the north view of Waldos secret garden.though not really part of that.it's used as a prop for the weddings.as a boy I went there with my mom to pay for milk delivery and often cows were seen at the intersection of 12th and 43rd ave.cattle were there.I have yet photo the milking area. The silos are just west of that.unless those are grain silos.but the cattle at the ranch weren't raised there.they were raised nit far from where I live now.

I find that fascinating! I'm a 'city' girl ... but one who had a set of farming grandparents with livestock. Dairies were located in the rural areas, with the bottled milk, butter, heavy creams, etc, trucked to stores or to home deliveries. (We had home delivery) Grandparents didn't have a milk silo ... just grain silos. And after the dairy cows were milked, the raw milk was put into large metal cans which would be picked up for processing. (Grandmother retained one large can for personal use, as needed)

It's entirely feasible that those silos pictured were used to store the daily influx of raw milk awaiting processing.
