I just can't believe a building like this would be wasted... it's so beautiful, and still strong in many ways... I mean, I can't believe somebody didn't do something before now, you know?

Lovely!

If they sured it up. It would make an awesome garden

OK, I've held my tongue long enough. This is a beautiful building & gorgeous photographs. Motts, you are much more than a photographer. You are an artist in every sense of the word. But, I can't look at these pictures & wonder how many children were tormented by clergy in these walls. How many tears were shed in these rooms. There. I said it.

What once was new & beautiful & strong is now falling apart. Sounds like me since I hit 50.

I love pics of abandoned buildings, but because all the historic photos were provided, it made it all so desperately sad. The building was gorgeous not that long ago - it is so strange what change can do to a place.

I grew up in Gary back in the 50's and 60's, and can remember going to a wedding at this church. I was lucky to see it in its glory days.

Looks like some place where Quasimoto would hang out!

Mr. Motts, you just made my day. I've actually been inside this building and I'm thrilled to see you've found it too. Thanks!

This is just devastating to see such beautiful architecture go to rack and ruin. So hauntingly beautiful and tragic.
