City Methodist Church - Gary, Indiana 06.10.09

Of all the places I got to see in Gary Indiana, the City Methodist Church was probably the most massive and majestic to step into. Built in 1926, the church also served as a community center full with classrooms, a gymnasium, and a theatre. Due to the decline of Gary in the 60's the church could barely afford to keep the property and by 1975 it was closed. In 1997 the abandoned property was further damaged by a fire.

Here are some of my favorite shots from that day:

Union Station - Gary, Indiana - 06.10.09

The abandoned Union Station in Gary was one of my favorites spots to go to. The freight trains passing by were an awesome sight to see and added to the feel of the place. The station was built in 1910 and supposedly has been vacant since the 1950's.

Here are some pictures from inside:

Old Gary Post Office - Gary, Indiana 06.10.09

The Old Gary Post Office in Gary Indiana is a massive art deco building built in the 1930's. I was amazed at how big it was with its lovely marble base, just sitting there rotting away. Here are a few from inside.
