These places were abandoned years ago. Look at them today

Methodist Church – Indiana, USA

This Methodist Church once had 3,000 members when it was used in 1926. This property was originally worth $1 million dollars back then ($13 million today), making it one of the most valuable buildings of its time.

Over time, employment in the area began to decline and the crime rate grew – causing people to turn to the city of Gary. Now, it’s largely deserted – and completely abandoned in the 1980s. Who knows, it could be bought by another religion soon.

Tiki Palace – Chattanooga, Tennessee

This creepy pool used to belong to a strip club built in 1972. The house was a massive 5,600 square foot property and home to hundreds of parties in the 1970s. Unfortunately, the place was closed after only a year when its owner hired a hit man to kill his wife’s lover.

For years, the place has been largely left alone, earning the respect of locals who entered and explored the property. Finally, in 2017, the site was demolished.
