An abandoned church in the heart of Buffalo, that fuses to go down without a fight.
It's always a crap shot when heading south of the border to explore aged gems. One never knows what will be accessible and what won't. With a small list of possible interest points, we found ourselves very quickly spinning our wheels on a heavily snow drift road. If not for the aid of a few ice fisherman nearby, it would have been a photo bust for the day.
Transfiguration Church at the corner of Sycamore and Mills, was the last on our list of treasures. But was by far the most interesting and photogenic. When you look around there are still tell tale signs of grandeur - gold leaf decals, hand painted motifs, and subtle stone carvings on the columns that lead the eye high above to gothic arches.
With a history that dates back to 1897, and a present that challenges officials to decide her fate before she come crashing down.
