Abandoned Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois. The church was bought out by a baptist church and they installed the drop ceiling. Pretty much building a small church inside the massive church. While also hiding all the decaying features that were much too costly to repair. Sadly, the church went abandoned again and is sitting in disrepair.
Why were the statue of St. Joseph and the stained glass window left abandoned? How many newly built traditional churches have to wait to fund-raise enough funds to install these things? The Prots will probably smash it as an "idol"!
I wonder when the Baptists bought it. Back in the 70s and 80s, churches were wrecked, with beautiful altars and pulpits and high altars and communion rails just being thrown away. By the 90s, they were still being taken out of churches, but some had the foresight to put them in storage.
