Please Help Identify Church Building...Again?!

Wow, that's a stumper, all right. The statue high above the entrance may be a clue.

Maybe it's this: Promise Land Missionary Baptist Church/St. Stanislaus Bishop and
Martyr Roman Catholic Parish Complex

I'm getting a "Not Found" error for that page, but I geuss this would be the same St. Stanislaus: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~detroitchurches/page32.htm

St. Stanislaus' church is located at Dubois street and Medbury avenue

Edit: Here's the 1701 St. Stanislaus page from web archive: http://web.archive.org/web/200712152...tanislaus.html

The parish membership continued to decline, fostered in part by the elimination of many homes to build the nearby Poletown Plant for GM and then, less that a decade later, by the erection of the massive Detroit incinerator just a couple of blocks away. Indeed, this parish closed in 1989, the same year the Detroit incinerator began burning solid waste to generate energy. Lowell Boileau, in some of his posting on the DetroitYes [[www.DetroitYes.com) website, affectionately called this magnificent church, “Our Lady of the Incinerator.”

It's definitely not the old St. Stanislaus. I think it's whatever building Promise Land was in before they moved into St. Stan's. I'd say it's pretty definitely on the east side, as I feel that I have some vague memory of having seen this building several times before. Also, it has a Tyree Guyton dot!

St. Stanislaus as Promise Land Missionary Baptist:

Am I seeing things, or is there a yellow "715" to the left of the door?

I'm getting a "Not Found" error for that page,...

This seems to be the correct link: St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr Roman Catholic Parish Complex/Promise Land Missionary Baptist Church

Found it. 7151 Strong @ Frontenac. No wonder it seemed vaguely familiar. My great-aunt, who died back in the '70s, lived about 2 blocks away from there, but I doubt if I've been down that street more than 2 or 3 times since then.

The building is still standing [[at least on Google Maps Streetview), but apparently vacant. It was originally built as the Slovak Home hall.

Good job, Eastside Al!
