High ceilings are a popular feature in homes nowadays, but how about a home where you can look straight up for 96 feet? Those ultra-high ceilings are available right now to the buyer of this $1.895 million former church in Ventura, CA.
The building’s 96-foot-high steeple is just one of the many exceptional features in this landmark Carpenter Gothic-style structure. Its original stained-glass windows, columns, beams, and other ornamentation recall the building’s days as St. John’s Methodist Episcopal Church, built in the late 1800s on donated land, according to a 2014 article in the Ventura Breeze. The building also once housed the Victorian Rose Wedding Chapel, according to a local tourism website.
