I love your impromptu visits to abandoned places. It is so sad to see these buildings fall into ruin. I remember my childhood church and attending with my elderly relatives and my cousins in the 1950s. Our church burned down in the late 1950s or early 1960s, but it was an example of a early 1900s church in a small Arkansas town.
You have the same passion for old abandoned structures as I do. Thank you for taking us along every time! I know some buildings have unsure footing (I've seen someone fall through a second story floor and have their legs dangling from the first story ceiling!)
I’m imagining the weddings, the funerals, prayers prayed and answered, encouragement from the Bible reading, the hymns reverently sung and the cheerful conversation on the church grounds following service.
It's so good to see elder Robert back it's a shame to see all these old churches and all these old homes that once held so much joy for so many people and now they're just gone like dust in the wind God bless you Robert and so glad you're back ♾️✝️🛐♥️ LOL
It’s like Christmas in January to get some adventures with you other Robert! Thank you!! Love hearing your thoughts and checking out this old abandoned church. Glad you stopped and missed the bees!
Howdy from Texas 🙋♀️🇨🇱 Thank you other Robert for taking us along on your adventures. It's interesting to see some old buildings in your neck of the woods. 🐾🌺
Other Robert, you've done a great job showing this abandoned Methodist church to us. I know that if a Roman Catholic church is closed, the baptismal, marriage and death records are assigned to another church or parish. What happens to the records of a Methodist church? Do they stay with the preacher (assuming that person is still alive), or are they sent to another Methodist church? It seems that if a church is closed, the religious items should be removed. Yet this one has hymnals left behind. This has puzzled me. Thanks for this tour. This church would have been cozy when it was functional.
I bet there was some great preaching in there back in the day, some beautiful ladies and small kids learning about the Lord. And that piano must have sounded great and had them singing. This is or was a Holy place, thank you!
Great job the other Robert! Going into old bldgs you can imagine how it must have been. The old hymnal was a treasure find and then when you showed the piano it was so sad and I can imagine it being played every Sunday and voices singing. Ty so much for taking us on these journeys…keep up the good work,
So sad to see it deteriorating to the ground. It was interesting even though someone stole all the pews. I guess the county will let it fall to the ground then they won’t have to deal with the asbestos. I know it can be airborne. I kinda figured it might of been built in the 30tys or the 40tys. Thanks Robert I enjoyed this video. Watch out for those bees. ♥️😊👍👍👍🐶
I wondered the same thing. i think places that have been consecrated ike a church can be ceremonially unconsecrated if the building is being sold for another purpose, like a residence or a school, etc. We moved to a rural area that was being “settled’ and built up with houses and businesses, and an old church on the main highway was, at that time a little antique and second hand store. it was a very charming building well maintained, with a steeple and gothic windows and beautiful woodwork inside,, it had a tiny raised choir loft and pulpit with raiings, as I recall.and gothic-arched windows. inside it was quiet and welcoming.,The owners had tastetfully placed beautiful old china and glassware, all around to catch and reflect the iight from the windows. The pews, of course were gone. they are probably the very first things to go when a church is closed and the congregation moves on.. We took a visit to my husbands home town after the church where he had grown up was closed and sold to the high school adjoinging the property. We looked in the windows, and all the beautiful old oak pews were gone, probably sold for a high price..The church building would have a new life, as , perhaps a lecture hall and office space It had a full basement with a big kitchen and dining room/ reception hall. It is so sad that too many old church buildings do not get a new purpose when the congregation moves away and are just abandoned.like that poor Methodist church. i suppose that happens because they are located in remote , wild places. I recognize the “Insstutional green” shade of paint all through the interior, walls and doors and woodwork all painted the same. We lived in rented houses in the 1950’s, with everything : walls, doors, woodwork , all painted over in that color, it was also in the schools and lots of older buildings.Maybe during the 1930’s depression era and the WWII years, that paint was the most available and most practical and low cost? I am looking forward to part 2 of this adventure. Thank You.
I love you guys. Thank you for showing the old church. Reminds me of my church days in Louisiana growing up. Thank you "Other Robert." Also wanted to say that I loved the different approach when you showed an old building without verbal comments. I liked that method of filming, but then I also enjoy the information you share as you're exploring 😃. Please keep up the great work "Other Robert!" ❤
Those old upright pianos had the best sound... and a little round wooden stool whose seat went round and round, which screwed it up or down to adjust the height... and in the case of our church's upright piano stool, it also had a great big floral skirted Mrs Walden's backside, which was faithfully in place without fail for every note sung by congregation, choir, or soloist !
Good to see you, Robert!! The local fire department was asked to burn an old dilapidated church building a couple of years ago. I now have the metal cross that was on the wall behind the pulpit and have intentions of hanging it on a wall in my home. Plus, we found an offering basket. It was sad that it had fallen into such disrepair.
Such a salvage opportunity! Saw a couple light fixtures the are worth some money. The doors are probably worth saving too. Another wonderful job Robert. Very much enjoyed it.
Thank you (bright green) Robert, this was interesting. What a shame to see the old structures fall into disintegration. Glad you can do a fill in for other Robert. Love to see you.
Great to see this once old church, and how beautiful old ceiling.. Such a shame that that old piano was destroyed. Wondering if there is any documentation on this old church. Glad you found this and documented it all, Robert, Appreciated.
Too bad I would of worked hard and made this a beautiful home. I love old churches, and there is so much history in them. Hopefully someone can save this one.
In my area of West Central Minnesota most of the old churches and country school houses were bought by private parties to renovate for private homes. Most are still standing. From Minnesota USA
I enjoy this Robert but I sure miss the original Robert. Hurry back, please. Love all the videos have watched for couple years now. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the view inside the old church. I was waiting to see how fast you could run when the bees started swarming!! I'm sure there is a bee hive inside the wall somewhere. My brother in law completely remodeled their old home and found a 5 ft. bee hive in the wall!
