Wow. I agree, breathtaking.

wow, I can't believe all of this is gone now....it's really sad, actually. they could have restored it all into something spectacular...

Ooh, I just want to brush all of that away and see what it's like underneath...

Absolutely beautiful.

This is amazing. Time spared most of the detail. Well done!

The destruction of Eden Hall has bothered me more than any other building on these urban exploration sites. It just seems like there had to be some alternative to tearing it down. It cannot be rebuilt. It was really a masterpiece.

Looking at this has hurt my head... granted it's late and all. Though I don't see 'sigma' in there Σ. But after some research, it is indeed sigma, but somehow Σ became C (more-so Latin) and then S. The Sacred Name is Jesus which loosely translates (first 3 letters) to IHC or IHS, which is inscribed above.

Hope this helps anyone else's headaches.

these are lamps, you can see a broken socket in one facing towards

The eyes are soooo scary:(

I agree with V Vela, were any of these beautiful carvings, etc saved, I mean, even with a fire, those stone ornaments (probably marble altar) could have been rescued.

And to think that it's all gone now. All that beauty.

I work for a company in pennsylvania that builds only church furnature and fixtures. We've done several jobs that have had wood work like this but its expensive. Some churches will pay up to a half a million dollars for this kind of craftmanship

a little muphy s oil soap and lemon scent pledge would do wonders .

That's not "PIOUS". It seems to be "FIOUS", but I don't think Latin had any -ous endings, just -us. It's not a P, though; compare the P in the next word, "PROT...". I also think the "IN VADES" might be "IN CADES", but I don't know which if either of those are words in Latin.

It looks like the left cheek has a tear
