The directions given for this site near Batavia, Ohio are precise, and they are the best part of the account.

On the entrance ramp to State Route 32 leaving Batavia there is an access road to the left, where a car dealership used to be. Follow that road to its end, take a left, and follow the trail out to the old chimney standing by itself in a field.

That is where the church was. Twenty years before the account was written it was still standing, painted red.

A lone chimney in a field is the most common ruin in rural America. The frame goes, by fire or by neglect, and the masonry stack is the only part that has nothing to burn.

The name it now carries came from the teenagers who visited it, not from anything the congregation would have recognised.

The field is private land.
