Philadelphia's Abandoned St. Bonaventure Roman Catholic Church | Abandoned America

St. Bonaventure's demolition was as swift as is was heartbreaking. Built in 1906, it was closed in 1993. Rather than finance $77,000 in repairs to the steeple, the city tore it down for a million. Here at the shots of it being destroyed, by Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.

@AbandonedAmerica I'd never realised before that the 'stone' columns in some modern churches might be fake. Looks very much like they're hollow. I feel slightly cheated.
