So this place got leveled suddenly ! I heard about it from BuildingsOfDetroit, and I just couldnt believe it. But sure enough. I read that it was an Episcopal seminary building, but I can’t really find anything on it.
Heres a few photos of it before the demo that I shot recently. I have a whole set I did that includes the remaining interiors, but I still have to find those.
Here is what the site looked today. Toast !
The newer looking church must have been an addition to the original layout, as it used to sit directly behind the seminary structure.

That was the old St. Paul Episcopal Church.
Loss of a beautiful piece of architecture…
That’s a fucking shame too. Look at how terrible that intersection looks now. It seriously looks like it belongs out on 25 mile. Vacant lot and ugly modern church, ugh, yay.
Please find those interiors :)
We were driving en route to something else and spotted this place one day. Put it on the list, but never got around to it :(
Painful. Please tell me some of the architectural details were salvaged first. Yeah, right. I didn’t think so…
Sad to see another incredible design wasted. Great photos capturing all its fine detail.
Unreal…waste.
I know where you are saying – Ive parked my car in front of those houses before.
Isnt this crazy ? The photos in this post are from 07.14.09 – about two weeks ago.
