The final service was held in 1977. The church was severely damaged in a storm resulting in the complete abandonment of the church. In 2009 the copper was stripped from the dome of the building which let water pour inside causing the church to rapidly deteriorate. A newer Church was built in 1976 to replace this one.

Doing a minor amount of research online, I believe this was originally the Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church. The first service in this building was on Palm Sunday 1950 and at one point served over 750 families. They relocated to Westland in (I think) the mid 1980s and two other churches used the building until each of them folded.

This was my home church from birth until I was 15. My family was born and raised at this church. Sad to see

@joejonas3684 Год назад

I’m Greek, and this is really sad to see. Greek churches are so beautiful especially because of the iconography inside. I’m not surprised this one in Detroit is abandoned cause Detroit used to have a very large Greek population, but a lot more now live in either Tampa or Chicago

@jolenecarney7514 Год назад

I am Greek Orthodox also, I grew up in the Greek church and did so many activities there. The architecture of this church reminds me of the church I grew up in. This makes me very sad.

My brothers wedding was the last wedding at this church in 1991. I was baptized here.

I’m Greek Orthodox, and I almost wanted to cry when I watched this.

As Roman Catholic it also hurts. We’ve been through bad times before. The church will endure

This is such a unique channel. I grew up in the midwest in Chicago and this brings back such nostalgic memories. Thanks for doing this! My favorites are schools, homes and churches

So sad to see. I used to admire that church in the 60's when I went to FOCH Jr. High across the street which is now gone, and Southeastern High school across the street. I was married there in 1977 and back then there was a nice membership. I remember The Watchman.... It was a beautiful church. Now I only have my wedding photos to remind me if it's beauty.

@jrzzrj 5 месяцев назад

Yes, really a sad end for a fine legacy of faith. Obviously, this magnificent structure (beyond repair) will have to be demolished. But by whom and how funded? Detroit city is in sad shape these days....barely keeping afloat.

@Jason-rn4jk Год назад

Just imagine the amount of weddings, baptisms, funerals, and so forth were done inside this church. A weekly service of worship as well. Sad the iconography is barely noticeable. The amount of time and workmanship put into the painting of the icons and to see it decaying is sad.

@user-ts3mi4zk2n 4 месяца назад

It's beyond sad to see these beautiful structures fall apart like this. Churches will never duplicate these. The cost alone is beyond the ability of any congration to finance. Once these are gone, they're gone...😢

@monicabermea7652 Год назад

Hard hats and steel toed boots please. Lol. I wonder what the glory days of this church were? Incredibly beautiful I'm sure. The remains are incredible. Wow! Thanks be careful! ❤️

Fyi, i sub this channel but didn’t see any videos in my sub feed for a long time until this video. RU-vid algo sucks. Looks like the last videos i saw were ones uploaded 8 months ago when you were in illinois.

So that’s why people keep complaining that I’m not making videos when I am. I’m always like I’m making video but you’re not watching them 🤣🤣
