Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church in Detroit

A quick panoramic of Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church in Detroit from the pulpit looking toward the dramatic, curving wooden balcony. The church is one of the most beautiful in the city - and there is hope that it may once again become a house of the holy.
Learn more - and see more - about this abandoned Detroit landmark in the new book "Lost Detroit: Stories Behind the Motor City's Majestic Ruins," from the team behind BuildingsofDetroit.com and due out in late July 2010.

@rhymeswithrawk what do you mean I am an ADAMO stooge? I don't get it. Do you think that I work for them or something? I have just noticed that they do a lot of the big cool demo projects in the city. Sometimes I go down to the demo sites to watch the destruction, and I just think that the operators are really nice guys. They always explain to me what is going on as they work and let me look at the big powerful machines they got there. I love to watch those machines in action, don't you.

@6969Wolf6969 Yeah, yeah, we all get it, you're an Adamo stooge. If the church does ever come down, let's hope it's razed by a company that doesn't spew toxic dust clouds into the air like Adamo did with the Lafayette Building. Jot down your mesothelioma lawyer number next time you see the commercial!
