Everything from its massive stone facade, lavish sanctuary to its ornate stain glass windows is a testament to Gilded Age Philadelphia. As the neighborhood declined, the congregation dwindled, and today the empty building faces imminent destruction - putting an end to the building's 160-year-long reign as the center of its neighborhood.
