Brother Rarick and Willis at Dixon Church of the Brethren, Dixon, Ill.

Brother Rarick and Willis at Dixon Church of the Brethren, Dixon, Ill.
A photo of a church, chapel, or any other religious building for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Caption at lower left: "Dixon Church." Sign: "Revival Meetings in Progress Here. Come Tonight."

Handwritten message on the back of this real photo postcard (no name, address, or postmark): "This was taken during our revival last fall. The people are Bro. Rarick the evangelist and Willis. The building to right is our dwelling."

Addendum: I was skeptical at first when someone over on Flickr suggested that the church in this photo is the same one that's still located at 501 W. Third Street (corner of Third and Madison) in Dixon, Illinois (see the Google Street View dated 2013). After further checking, however, I was able to confirm that this building was home to the Dixon Church of the Brethren until 1963, when it was purchased by the Second Baptist Church, which still uses it today.

Smiley Derleth has particularly liked this photo

Dixon is not too far from Galesburg, Illinois, where I went to college and a couple of my friends grew up there. It was also the boyhood home of Ronald Reagan.
