If there existed an "icon of abandonment", perhaps this ruined church would take the title. Completed in 1925 and abandoned in 1975, the building lingered in relative obscurity and was damaged by fire in 1997. Since then, it has evolved into something of an internet phenomenon as explorers have come from far and wide to stand in awe in its quiet and magestic chapel. Its been seen on TV and is featured in an upcoming horror movie, and was even the stage for a gospel music video. I won't reveal its location or even the city it is located in; it is well enough known that if you don't know those basics I'm not going to be the one to tip it in for you. I'll assume most of those who might find this page knows where this place is.
Note the piano which appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, in early 2009. How did
that possibly get there? The mystery was solved when it was discovered the church was the setting for a music video by gospel recording artist Dwayne Coleman. The video was completed but the piano remains , sadly no longer playable due to moisture damage.
