Detroit - Hand Painted Ceiling Church
< on 7/16/2018 5:27 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER ForumQuote
Here is an abandoned church in Detroit I hit with RiddimRyder back in June, one of 10 spots we hit this day.

We were hoping to hit more but were surprised to see so many schools totally sealed off with the plexi-glass shit over every door and window.

This one was cool, pretty easy to access, the main draw is obviously the sanctuary with the hand painted ceiling but the rectory was cool too!

I wonder if that's bc of scrappers. Since the city of Detroit owns the public schools that may just be a way to protect their assets.

Love this set. Amazing location and that rectory is a well-preserved time capsule.

I'll be in the Big D in about 6 weeks but mainly to shoot the abandoned neighborhoods. Did you check any of those out?

Wow, that is stunning. Places that are as preserved as this one just blow my mind.



I'm just very lost.

oh ya, in between locations we took some random lefts and rights to check out the neighborhoods for sure. We were very surprised to see how much development there was in Brush Park, very few homes left abandoned and some incredible restoration work!

Nice shots! Wrong region though!

Those first two shots are beautiful.

A lot of Detroit schools have been sealed by Vacant Property Services or VPS for short.

That's what property owners do if they want to make damn sure no one is getting inside without a key.

Ha, I was yelled at by a neighbor for poking around trying to find a way in here. They seem to have sealed it up pretty well.

Nice set dude!

I think they've started using plexi because VPS has basically been a failure.

Hey, cool location and some nice pics in the set. As for the location sealing, I think they've started using plexi because VPS has basically been a failure.



Fixed that for you

Just fucking with you!

This is a great set. All paintings and colors are surprisingly well preserved. Truly indeed a time capsule of sorts, though by about a decade tops. What are those bedroom pictures from though? Priest lodging (I presume this is an Easter orthodox church)?
