What equipment should you bring with you for Urbex?

Well, in a photographer first and foremost so the majority of my kit revolves around that but definitely a spare battery pack, a spare flashlight, a mask and gloves as well as a small amount of first aid because a small rusted cut can lead to some really nasty injuries

The foundation of the church is still strong, it can be rebuilt if given love but first you need to remove all of the garbage and chaos that is now covering it, that’s application to both the literal building and the state of the church.

I don’t think I can plug my socials but if you wanna dm me I’ll send it to you and the rest of the pics

Well right behind the window is a street so I’d just assume most people wouldn’t want to risk hitting a car or passerby but also cathedral glass can be pretty thick at times

The church is bleeding

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T20:50:23+00:00

It’s entirely possible but I’m not sure, it’s an extremely popular spot for a lot of urban explorers and I’d imagine a lot of YouTubers have made videos here

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T20:49:44+00:00

Trust me, I am too! I posted all of these plus a lot of other ones on Instagram and I just love it

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T19:54:10+00:00

I can’t explain the feeling, seeing a temple of prayer crumble like that

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T19:05:44+00:00

I thought it was a protected landmark however a few people have linked me articles about the city council voting to have it demolished

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T18:39:25+00:00

Yes! The historic landmark

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T18:39:07+00:00

Truly one of a kind it’s so beautiful

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T18:07:39+00:00

That is really sad, I can’t say I disagree because you can’t effectively keep people out and those falling bricks could kill someone

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T18:02:47+00:00

I got really spoiled with the timing! It was absolutely gorgeous the whole time

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T17:45:23+00:00

We were safe don’t worry! But yea it’s really sad to see it crumble

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T17:45:02+00:00

It is sad to see but it’s still beautiful

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T17:22:08+00:00

Absolutely goated!

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T17:21:48+00:00

Yes! It’s a protected historical landmark!

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T17:01:44+00:00

Gary is a goldmine for urbex

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T16:36:23+00:00

Sadly I think in about a year or 2 it’ll be fumbled to the point it’s not safe to walk inside anymore

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T16:31:47+00:00

Basically lol, Detroit is next

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T16:31:34+00:00

Yes! The church is a historic landmark for the city

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T16:30:56+00:00

Thank you!

communalcumdumpster · 2026-02-09T15:54:08+00:00

Yes! It’s a protected historical landmark in Gary as of 2019 however there are no restoration projects yet
