Slovakian Hall

Published March 30, 2006

An interesting Slovakian church on the dirty EastSide..

[ df adds: “yeah, I agree with everybodies comments, its certainly some type of hall or cultural center building, rather than a church.”]

    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!
