Update: This church faced further destruction at the hands of brick thieves, and eventually the entire front half of the building collapsed, leaving only the back third. It has remained in a ruined condition (See fifth photograph down in this post from August of 2018).

This church was hit by the brick thieves, which baffles me as the brick is a buff color, which would not seem to be very popular with the local black market.

Shards of brick litter the parking lot across the street, where the word “pastor” can still be seen in the respective parking space.

The rest of the buildings are beautiful as well; these two twin apartment buildings are stunning.

I love these little Italianate shotgun houses; they’re not huge but the perfect residence for a small family or retiree. Chances are it will be a pile of rubble in a few years.
