sanctuary

[KenC]

An old church in Philly (first Catholic (1899), then later Baptist) converted to rental units. It has a very tall bell tower which makes it visible for some distance.

actually kind of neat. There is few churches i have known of converted around here, nothing of that caliber but same in principle. Better than seeing them knocked down. A catholic school is up for sale now, i hope it is kept and converted instead of being demolished. i have pics of it somewhere. Be a shame to see it demolished hopefully it gets converted.

I'd actually not been aware of it - maybe it just didn't register - but I looked online and saw that this has been done many times in many places. I just thought the sign was funny. I wonder if there are some very small apartments in that tower ...
