Requiescat en Pace: The Last Days of the Abandoned Church of the Assumption

Despite years of abuse and countless attempts to demolish it, the Church of the Assumption in Philadelphia still stands... for now. By Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America.

One of the tragedies here is that churches were sometimes abandoned or remade due to changes in the acceptance of a certain sect, e.g. the shifts in England from Catholicism to CE and back and forth, but this is one of the few periods in which the general retreat from religion is causing this kind of abandonment. I don't mind so much the abandonment of religion so much as the abandonment of excellent architecture like this.
@scfw0x0f yeah personally I'm fine with the decline of religion but the destruction of architecture is really upsetting
