The best kinds of locations are those that, no matter how many times you've seen them photographed and posted by others, still make you say "wow" when you finally get to see them in person. This is one of those.

As always, thanks for looking!

Fantastic set man! I helped bring in crates to package up the organ right after this beauty first closed. The guys doing the salvage work said we could hang around and take photos in exchange for helping.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Only got into the basement when I visited and i must have spent 15 minutes looking for the stairwell up. If there was a staircase and my dumbass didn’t find it, i’ll be infinitely mad at myself.

EDIT: still grateful to have seen that cemetery though, super cool.

yeah that,s a gem for certain!!




Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time.

Awesome as always, a real beauty of a building. You think those crackers are still good?

Thanks very much, everyone! For some reason, although I always see a ton of churches posted around various exploring pages, it can be very difficult to pinpoint their locations. This is one of only a handful I've been tipped off to by others, and I'm really glad I fnially got to see it. It blows the small number of other churches I've visited out of the water completely.

What great timing, that must have been awesome. That probably makes you one of the few people to have seen the organ before it was completely disassembled.

I've been asked not to give away much info on this place, but rest assured I had the same issue with the basement before I approached it from another angle. Was the poor deceased cat down there when you visited?

Good question, I imagine communion wafers only barely count as food in the first place.

It sure was, it was super recent too and quite depressing. The worst part of it all was the staircase to the ceiling.
