An Urban Ruin

Fourth Baptist Church 2

The remains of the Fourth Baptist Church in the Old North St. Louis neighborhood. The historic building was gutted by fire five years ago. You can read the sad story here

You can't see it in this picture but there are a few words stenciled across the boarded-up main entrance. They read, "the lord is my shepherd ."
