The Descent of the Abandoned Ascension of Our Lord Church

Abandoned in a hard-hit area of the city, this church was still beautiful during my visit but rapidly declined after.

Hey, you like abandoned places, and I like selling books about them! If you don't have a signed copy of my first book, "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences", I've got the hook-up: https://www.dismantlingthedream.com/product-page/signed-copy-of-abandoned-america-the-age-of-consequences
@AbandonedAmerica does your book include Kings Park psychiatric center in Long Island New York?
@ahemmi no, neither of the two do (although the first one, Age of Consequences, does have Pilgrim State) - maybe the next one I do will 😊
@AbandonedAmerica pilgrim state is still open although they closed down a couple of the buildings. I just went to kings park like 2 weeks ago
@ahemmi oh goodness, that place used to be he largest mental health facility in the world. There were so many buildings there that were torn down. My book had medical/surgical, admin, and the power plant
@AbandonedAmerica pilgrim or kings park?
@ahemmi Pilgrim.
@AbandonedAmerica I've heard about pilgrim. State psych wards in general are ineffective money milling machines that exploit their patients for profit.
@AbandonedAmerica
It's on my list once I'm working again or my business idea takes off. Please know that it is appreciated.
@hannahshouse2 thanks! No pressure, it'll be there whenever you get there and I bet a library can get it for you if money's tight 😊
@AbandonedAmerica what an amazing series of photos β€” and indeed what a waste to see this building fall into such a state and to know it fell further.
@ct_bergstrom thank you! And wow, it didn't even look like the same place last time I saw it. If they haven't torn it down it's a shell now
