Today we are exploring an abandoned Lutheran church in Chicago, Illinois. The church shut down in 2012, then in 2015 the City of Chicago sued the church owners for failure to keep the property secured and declared the church hazardous to the public.

Beautiful Church ⛪️. It has alot of potential to being restored!

@Threemore650 9 месяцев назад

What a lovely attitude. Amen.

@vanessacallahan3515 10 месяцев назад

If people are going to abandon places at least let an architectural and antique salvagers come in and pay to reuse them or sell them. If the owner isn’t going to. So sad to see all these places with so much beauty get ruined by nature.

@colemartin6969 8 месяцев назад

Don't think of it as "ruining", but simply "taking over"

@vanessacallahan3515 7 месяцев назад

@@colemartin6969 Well actually man will ruin them by bulldozing the house with all belongings. Things will end in a land fill.

@colemartin6969 7 месяцев назад

Ok, land fills ARE ruining, IDK why they're still allowed anyway.

I was here recently and the current owner is pretty serious about the future of this building. There were workers sealing the broken windows with cinder blocks, and it looked like possible renovations were being done. The other church in the same area of Chicago, which is German Catholic, is in much worse condition as far as decay. However, the stained glass is in better condition and it is so ornate and beautiful.

That is a beautiful sanctuary! What a shame! Hope the building can be saved and revitalized before it's too late.

the raccoon part!! i really enjoyed this video i love watching your videos, theyre comforting and offer a look into the forgotten beauties in the world of buildings

@kate4th149 Год назад

The stained-glass panels are absolutely stunning. What a shame they're going to waste. At least you got to see them in their full beauty

@Chrisss2112 2 месяца назад

I agree that the stained glass is stunning. I just wish he would’ve gotten up close shots of the stained glass so that we the viewer can admire its beauty up close.

Those METAL CROSSES! They are beautiful, and how sad that there they sit! it would be really hard for me to go into a place like this, and not want to recover some of these items, if even just to give them away…

@Chrisss2112 2 месяца назад

Yea, the two metal crosses were beautiful, such a shame

@Chrisss2112 2 месяца назад

Stunning stained glass, I just wish you would’ve gotten a closer view of them so that us viewers can see the details.

@AxisofHonor25 Год назад

That’s crazy how that whole front panel of the church glass was punched out. Never seen that.

@RabbitWatchShop 7 месяцев назад

From my lens, this abandoned, condemned, old church represents the death of America of old. America today is far different than what it was at the height of this church’s service.

@nancyweliczko9334 3 месяца назад

Beautiful church so sad people are destroying it, the stain glass and woodwork is gorgeous and I don't know why the city doesn't salvage what's left of the windows, doors and woodwork.

@augustthenerd4213 11 месяцев назад

beautiful stained glass . hope if it destroyed the glass can at least be salvaged

@endeeray4295 7 месяцев назад

There are some beautiful components to this church. Its too bad they couldnt be salvaged and reused. We are so wasteful in this country.

@KhadijaKubra-po4cl Год назад

Beautiful

@bluestripetiger 6 месяцев назад

If the windows had not been vandalized the interior of the churc would still be pristine. However once you start letting in cold in the winter, heat in the summer, rain, snow, wind etc then you get the paint peeling off the walls and the chipped plaster all over the floor.

@diannegazzola1957 3 месяца назад

Why do they abandon these churches and other buildings and no one can come in and possibly buy or sell articles from these buildings

@fighterofthenightman1057 Месяц назад

RIDICULOUS that there are any new churches built in ugly contemporary styles while these works of art that our ancestors poured their hearts into sit and decay. There should be zero new churches built while these gems of history sit empty.

Anyone have any ideas 🤔 as to what happened to the pipe organ thanks 🙏

@justjosh999 Год назад

Why was this place deemed hazardous? Mold? Asbestos? Lead? And do you all ever worry about fumes in that case?

@decayingmidwest Год назад

My guess would be asbestos/the crumbling walls

@persephone342 6 месяцев назад

We make industrial mask for removing these hazards. Strap one on my dudes!!

Congregation left community due to criminality in area. Once gone, slowly no one attends church n able to support financially. Democrats leadership ruins.
