You might recall that a while ago I posted some photographs of the "Bomb Shelter Church" on Wisconsin Ave. At the time, I knew that this monstrosity replaced a beautiful old brick church, but I couldn't find any pictures of it anywhere. Thanks to a reader who did a bit of research, he clued me into a book called "Old Milwaukee. A Historic Tour in Picture Postcards" by Gregory Filardo which had this picture of the old Wesley Church:
For reference, here is a picture of the current church which now stands in it's place. Remember, the old church was torn down "just because"... there was no fire or anything:
Someone will have a lot of explaining to God when he gets up there. Although, he may be going "down there" because of this too. Tearing down that beautiful old church to build this was a terrible sin.
