Abandoned Highland Park Episcopal temple Church ( Power still on )

St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1913. I haven’t been able to find much about their origins, but I assume it was somewhere in Highland Park, which was still a village at the time. The Highland Park Ford Plant opened three years prior, bringing thousands of jobs and workers from across the country and Detroit, which did not yet surround it entirely. On Sunday, October 10, 1926, formal dedication services were held for a new church building for St. Paul’s at the corner of Eason and Joslyn. The structure was designed by Butterfield & Butterfield. I’m not sure what the neighborhood’s makeup was initially; however, at some point, the church supported a Cornish population, many of whom may have relocated to Detroit from the Upper Peninsula after the copper boom. In 1953, there was an ad in the Detroit Free Press for a cornish-style supper and the showing of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Williams’ color films from a recent trip to Cornwall, England. In 1957, the congregation hosted an Upper Peninsula Night billed as a “UP Reunion.” Reverends from Houghton (Grace Church), Calumet, Negaunee, and Iron River were in attendance. It’s hard to know how many Cornish people lived in the Upper Peninsula, Highland Park, or Detroit at any given time because it wasn’t an option on census forms. At some point in the late 1960s, St. Paul merged with Berea Methodist Church. I haven’t found much information on Berea, but I believe it was founded in the mid-1930s as a black congregation in Highland Park. In 1941, they built a new structure for worship at 398 La Belle, near its intersection with Thompson. This would have been a short walk from the Michigan Bell/Western Electric Building on Oakman. After the merger, the church was known as Berea-St. Paul United Methodist. In the mid-1970s, Project Nutrition of the Wayne County Office on Aging offered hot lunch meals for seniors at the church and other locations around metro Detroit. In the 1980s, the church hosted a children’s summer program for kids in the neighborhood. After that, I haven’t found much information on the congregation other than in obituary listings. Funerals were consistent until the mid-2000s. I believe Berea-St. Paul closed around this time. By 2011, Powerhouse Temple was utilizing the structure. I’m unsure what they used the building for, but their registered address was 16241 Joslyn. They had moved their registered address by 2019 and may have lost it to foreclosure. It was listed for sale in 2017 for $120K. Photos of the interior at the time look rugged but breathtaking and usable. This part of Highland Park has mostly been forgotten by those who don’t live there. The roads are in utter shambles—some of the worst I’ve seen in my entire life. Most of the homes on Eason Avenue have been scrapped within inches of their lives. Once one of the crown jewels of Highland Park’s school system, Liberty School sits just up the road in a tattered mess. There are a ton of structures like this in Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck that are waiting for new life. Here’s to hoping this one survives long enough to see it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ——————————— If you guys would like to see Some photos I got from this place Be sure to check out my instagram I put the link right here | https://www.instagram.com/chris_conqu... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ——————————— If you guys would like to See TikTok’s of these places Be sure to check out our TikTok I’ll put the link right here | https://www.tiktok.com/@detroiturbane... . . . . . . . . .
