Built in 1848, the Church of the Assumption, at 12th and Spring Garden streets, has been abandoned for quite some time, and it looks as though, despite heated opposition and the fact that it’s on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, it will most likely be demolition very soon.

Special thanks to Zach Patten for these photos, which you can see more of HERE!!
