They have taken away (or covered up) much of the stained glass windows on the Washington St. side of the building. When the congregation is unable to maintain the building, then there are few other alternatives. It would be as bad or worse to see the church bldg become an eyesore due to neglect. But still sad to see this old building go - thanks for the pictures. My son had a friend in Warren High School whose parents were pastors there and he and they enjoyed many fun get togethers at the church. turtle guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911202015086827998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974665385210656674.post-35776755237853037352015-05-08T17:10:56.575-07:002015-05-08T17:10:56.575-07:00Based on some back-and-forth on a Howe alumni FB p...Based on some back-and-forth on a Howe alumni FB page, the primary problem appears to be the existing congregations small size, and hence inability to support the structure. Apparently what they are selling the land for (since the building is scheduled for demolition, the new owners obviously place zero--or negative--value on the building) will allow them to build a new, much smaller facility. I'm always sad to see interesting old buildings lost, but someone has to be able to keep them up and use them in some meaningful way.Don Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198988872512792834noreply@blogger.com
