While traveling to Downtown Chicago, I always noticed the spire from this church and was always curious to see what the church looked like. So I stopped off in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago to take a look. Hope you enjoy!!
Here is a little history on this architectural landmark in Chicago:
In 1894, architect Henry Schlacks was commissioned to design a church building at 5848 to 5850 S. Princeton in Englewood, for German immigrants and a German-American settlement established in 1886. Originally constructed as “St. Martin’s De Tours,” the Gothic Revival structure was said to be modeled after a church in Mainz, Germany. The name was later modified to “St. Martin De Porres,” honoring the Roman Catholic African-American congregation which settled in Englewood.

Nice video of a formally beautiful church. I am always saddened to see such beautiful structures fall into such disrepair.
Thank you. I feel the same..such a great building crumbling away
