I'm curious if anyone has any old photos of the Church of the New Jerusalem [[also known as New Grace Baptist Church) in the Sugar Hill district of Midtown at the southwest corner of Forest and John R? It originally opened in 1915 as the only Swedenborgian [[offshoot of Protestant movement) church in the city. Around 1970 it became a soup kitchen [[Crossroads of Michigan) and that may have been when the nave was floored over and the windows were removed.
I have done a pretty thorough search online and cannot find any photos whatsoever taken previous to its current abandoned state. I figured there might be someone here who used to go there or knows somebody who did who might have photos of the space exterior or interior or even from an event there? Anything that anyone has would be greatly appreciated!
This is the building now in its current state:
