|  | | | 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.
