Mollie Andrews' Mi Familia I encounterd this sentence: "Soon after he came to Pena Blanca, Father Chavez and George Rivera from Sile removed the pitched roof of wood shake shingles from the Ohio-looking church in Pena Blanca and gave it a Spanish territorial appearance."

I lived the largest part of my life in Ohio. I was never aware there was an Ohio look in architecture. & as hard as I try now to visualize such I have no idea what an "Ohio-looking" building looks like. I remain quite amazd at this description.
