Since 1880: church, laundry, printing press, tobbaconist, abandoned, demolished

Yes, built in 1880 as a church, but apparently the folks went bankrupt right after the building was finished and it was never used as a church. It was sold and a warehouse was constructed around the original building.

1. Before and way before. The top picture's from Mountain Xpress.


2. EPA-listed brownfields site, courtesy of your neighborhood launderer.


3. This part of the building was used as offices for a local church.


4. The vaulted ceiling was part of the original church.


5. I walked gingerly here.


6.


7.


8. The doom outside your door...


9.


The owners plan to turn the site into a parking lot.

Thanks for looking!

And yeah, it is a shame... the local Preservation Society tried to stop the demo, obviously lost that battle.

I believe I took a photo of where this used to be when I was in the city for my anniversary earlier this year:

I might have yelled at my computer when you said parking lot

Apparently that DID just happen. And I AM proud of it
