< on 3/28/2011 9:10 PM >
|  | | | This isn't your normal abandoned exploration but instead a more historic one. Unregistered and I have been going around taking pics and learning the history of beautiful old churches. some with incredible history. this is the Galveston part of our trip. ill have more if this thread works out. not sure though. i normally post this in photography.
Sacred Heart Catholic Church:
Built in 1884, Barely Survived the Storm of 1900, and was rebuilt in 1904 to what you see today.

after the storm the only savable parts were a few of the stained glass windows seen above the altar and the large wooden cross now in the back. here are some original photos from the back wall.
