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 In my town there's a steep decline in religion, and a lot of churches are decommissioned.

But there are several churches that have been converted to housing and community centers, trying to keep the architecture as intact as possible.

@Gremriel That's the best outcome, I think. We may not need all the churches but we do need housing
