The adaptive re-use of churches has become a major revitalization movement in post-industrial cities. For a city of its size, Hazleton is endowed with countless churches rich in architectural features and cultural history. Its a city that could promote the scale and beauty of its religious buildings. But it must find ways to keep these buildings alive.

The church is in great need of repair, but Jacqueline Evans photo essay captures the beauty that still lingers behind its walls and stained glass windows.
