Right! You can see the Rot patterns progress from the ceiling and down into the wall on the left. Then the roof and ceiling both fail and douse the floor which rots out and the floor joists fail as well dropping the pews into the crawlspace. Finally the rafters and Ridge line beam fails to bring the entire mess down.
My opinion on location places this building somewhere in the south eastern USA. Maybe Southern Mississippi region where there is high humidity, warm weather and frequent rains.
Maybe southern US makes sense. I thought it was odd the stove was off to the side. The buildings like this I've seen up north by me usually the stove is in the middle of the room so it radiates the heat better. In a warmer climate perhaps that isn't as important.
The stove placement is odd, but look where the pipe goes through the wall. Right in the back, middle of the wall. A converted building ? Can't have the preacher's backside getting scorched.
Perhaps. Could have been a school house first.
