Still beautiful as light streams through what remains. City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana. The abandoned church still offers a sense of hope even in it's decay.

You might recognize this view if you watched the Netflix series, Sense8. City Methodist Church was a location used in the Neflix series "Sense8," Season 1, Episode 1.

Downtown Gary was developed in the 1920s and houses several pieces of impressive architecture, including one (disputed) structure, the Moe House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and another, the Wynant House, 1917, which was destroyed by fire. A 6,000-seat minor league baseball stadium for the Gary SouthShore RailCats, U.S. Steel Yard, was constructed in 2002, along with contiguous commercial space. A significant number of older structures have been demolished in recent years, but a number of abandoned buildings remain in the downtown area, including historic structures like Union Station and City Methodist Church. A large area of the downtown neighborhood (including City Methodist) was devastated by fire on October 12, 1997. Interstate 90 divides downtown Gary from the United States Steel Plant.
