The Abandoned Church by marcperrella

This is the main sanctuary of an abandoned church in Detroit. Even in its present state, it is a pretty amazing place. The builders obviously took great pride in this one….so much intricacy in the design and thought to the way the sunlight would stream in. I couldn’t help but wonder what it must have looked like when that last family walked out of worship service and the lights were turned off for the final time.
