SLOVAK HOME
wow, i was just at the packard today and lo & behold, i saw the slovak hall from the roof! hahaha
slovak club. got one here in gary, indiana.
word.
this is over by where St. Cyril’s used to be, yeah? i think this wasn’t a church, but rather a cultural social club of sorts.
fUNKster, it may have been more of a social club/hall than a church. From my experience “home” on the facade usually denoted some other use from religious services.
Man, that first interior shot reminded me of that scene in the theatre near the beginning of “A Clockwork Orange” Shades of billy boy getting his yarbles off with that devotchka!
Wouldn’t this building have been more like a community center for Slovaks rather than a church, much like the Dom Polski buildings—one on east Forest and another on Junction—for Poles. What history must be wrapped up in those places!
