The vestibule and balcony have been removed. The south wall is leaning precariously.
The first column in front is removed by the large backhoe.
Front view with roof and all columns removed.
A few benches and a few other items including some of the large beams are salvaged. Here a radiator heads for an awaiting truck.
A view of the nursery which underwent a complete renovation last year through the use of volunteer labor.
The hallway in the rear educational wing  vividly depicts the effects of the intense heat.
The south wall of the sanctuary has fallen. The breezeway and Sunday School rooms can be seen in the background.
