Undated photo of the Church of the Assumption interior
Editor’s Note: We don’t know if the Church of Assumption is structurally compromised (we hear it isn’t, but we’re not engineers). What we do know is that beyond its historical significance, Assumption remains an exceptionally lovely building, even though much of its interior decoration has been stripped. For the latest news on the effort to save the church, click HERE; for our editorial advocating for its preservation, click HERE.

I really hope that this demolition does not move forward, but are they at least going to be smart enough to save the stained glass if it does?
Stain glass was sold off and removed years ago.
I am pretty sure most of the stained glass was already removed.
The undated photo is from 1919.
