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:
