It is no longer in use as a church, having been replaced by a newer (and less impressive, IMO) cathedral in 1990. It was given to a homeless shelter which used it for additional space. Today, it looks totally unoccupied and plans are to turn the former church into a performing arts space.

Across the street and up a few doors is another former church. I couldn't find much information on it.

ReplyDeleteLet's hope the buildings are retained and reused!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old building ... too pretty to be abandoned. Sure hope the Arts Center works out.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I'm glad somebody is going to re-purpose it before it deteriorates any further.
