The Disney planners hired to design Spanish Springs were asked to create a "whimsical " Spanish Town Square as I have heard it. All Spanish towns have churches. The church on the square was part of the fantasy look. I won't tell you what I think, although some people have called me artistic. My aunt and one other. Alright, I like it. I really like it.

Here is the letter from Mark Morse. This was a couple of years after a group called Palms who badly wanted a performing arts center approached him and he offered the church on the square enlarged on HIS dime and they turned him down. Not big enough or something like that. Not what they wanted.
