It's a historical church off 23rd & Vinton. I came across it completely by accident and thought it was kind of neat. Too bad it's apartments now, but I'm not sure what else you'd do with it if it's no longer needed as a church. I think it was built around 1905.

Thanks for the information. I always see the steeple from 24th street, so was curious about the building; but I hadn't ever taken a closer look to see what is "underneath" the steeple!

That’s a great find — I’ve driven by that area so many times and never noticed it! The architecture still has that classic early 1900s feel, even with the conversion. It’s always a little bittersweet seeing old churches turned into apartments, but I’m glad they preserved the exterior instead of tearing it down.
Hi there! I'm Zu. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm excited to connect and get to know each other better. Let's have a great conversation and share wonderful experiences together!
