Taken from the upper level. Again note the elegant curve of the inner rail of the upper level and the curved pews. We see some of two splendid octagonal openings that lead up to the roof of the main tower. Sunlight streams in a just clipped stained glass window on the far right illuminating the front of the Church. However if we look more carefully the sunlight shows debris scatted over the front pews and alter. Looking around we again see the peeling plaster and paint and in numerous places the wood appears to be rotting. Again we see at the front of the church the remains of a once impressive organ with broken cabinet and pipes long removed. On the upper level to our right a tarpaulin has been placed across the ends of a couple of pews in a futile attempt to protect them. Everywhere we look, to our dismay, we see neglect, disrepair,disuse and decay. A sad and sorry state of affairs for this beautiful Church, in a city once known as the Paris of the Midwest.

Well done, but appears slightly tilted to the right. Maybe it's the curvature of the balcony and pews?
