St. Oswald's Protestant Episcopal Church
St. Oswald's Protestant Episcopal Church, Protestant Episcopal Church in Skidmore, Missouri.
St. Oswald's is a church building with a cruciform layout characterized by horizontal wooden shingles, varied roof pitches, and minimal ornate details. The structure rests on a brick foundation and occupies a small portion of the land.
The building was constructed in 1892 by English-born architect Arthur H. James from Kansas City. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
The church has long served as a gathering place for descendants of English farmers who settled this area starting in the 1870s. It continues to reflect the community's connection to its English heritage.
The building sits about 8 miles west of Skidmore and 10 miles north of Mound City in Atchison County. A vehicle is recommended to reach this rural location.
The building represents one of the few remaining examples of Shingle Style architecture in the region with its distinctive horizontal appearance. The rough-sawn boards and shingles remain visible across its exterior today.
