Abandoned Places – Birmingham, AL (August 10) - part 2

Off to church

I've seen the ruins of this old church in central Birmingham, AL and finally got time to explore it a bit. The church was orginally a Greek Orthodox parish and as the congregation moved on, it found a second life as an African-American church. The first time I saw it, it was burned out and I knew I had to get photos. It's boarded up and shows signs of renovation.



















The roof and interior bracings look very new, but there's no construction on-going.






New windows were in several frames

I love this building. It may be one of my favorite abandoned places photos.

Thanks. I would have liked to get in and photograph the inside, but I'll settle for these for now.

That building looks really neat on the outside. Is there any chance of getting photos of the inside?

Unfortunately not at the present. It would require breaking and entering which I find unethical. Also the site is in plain view of multiple buildings and two roads.

Ah, I see.
