EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939, in Western Washington's Thurston County. The image showcases the Seven Day Adventist Church located in Tenino, just a block away from the bustling main street and adjacent to the local bank. As we observe this still image frozen in time, we are transported to an era marked by economic hardship - the Great Depression. Lange's lens captures not only the exterior of this humble church but also its surroundings. Towering fir trees frame the scene while other plants add a touch of nature to this town center location. The entrance stands as a symbol of hope amidst poverty and recession that plagued many during those challenging times. Through her photography, Lange masterfully conveys both religious devotion and community resilience. This image becomes more than just a representation of architecture; it becomes a testament to faith in trying times. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with adversity, people find solace within their beliefs. Preserved within the archives of Heritage Art at Library of Congress, this photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's remarkable body of work for Farm Security Administration (FSA) during her tenure with Office of War Information (OWI). With each click of her camera shutter, she captured slices of American life that continue to resonate today.
