City Methodist Church, Gothic Revival church in Gary, United States.
The nine-story religious complex features stone walls, high ceilings, intricate arches, and multiple large windows across its grand facade.
Built in 1926 with substantial funding from US Steel Corporation, the church closed in 1975 following Gary's industrial decline and population changes.
The structure exemplifies early 20th-century religious architecture and represents the connection between industrial prosperity and community development in midwest America.
The building attracts photographers and film productions, with sections remaining accessible despite structural deterioration and environmental hazards.
The Knight Foundation granted $163,333 in 2017 to transform this abandoned religious building into an outdoor performance space with gardens.
