Some more shots from last weekend in Waynesboro, PA. Again this is the old St. Paul's Reformed Church on South Potomac Street, built in 1902. It is now apartments and for sale. Owning an old building such as this must be tough. The wide-open spaces weren't exactly made for economical heating and cooling. All the electric would have to have been retrofitted. What it needs is someone who has the patience and finances to attend to it. Maybe an organization such as the Historical Society or another church could use it for social purposes. Or maybe a restaurant, similar to the Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh, would offer this landmark new life. Anything would be better than allowing this decay and abuse. I guess it all comes down to money.
