Vacant Churches

We discuss vacant churches in Chicago.
A number of empty churches sit vacant in the Chicago area, as parish needs and demographics have shifted over the years. We talk with real estate insiders and preservationists to track this trend and how some historic structures are being repurposed throughout the city. See photos of now-vacant churches and their origins in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood below.
