Abandoned St. Ruth Holy Temple (Detroit)
St. John the Baptist Romanian / St. Ruth Holy Science Temple / Isaiah New Testament Way Church
It is common in Detroit for once church building to have many names, as congregations expand or dissolve, selling their building to other congregations. One such church is visible from I75, a single steeple rising up out of a gutted neighborhood on the north side of Detroit.
There are few details about the history of St. John the Baptist Romanian Byzantine Catholic Church, which built a small church on Orleans Street sometime in the 1910's or 1920's. By 1955, they had moved to a new church on Woodward Avenue which is still active today.
St. Ruth was part of the Antioch Association of Metaphysical Science, a spiritualist church founded by H. Lewis Johnson. After moving to Detroit in the 1920's, she organized St. Ruth Holy Science Church in 1932 at Orleans and Monroe in the neighborhood of Black Bottom. In 1944, the church relocated, presumably to the former St. John church on Orleans. The Holy Science organization grew to five congregations in 1965, with St. Ruth being the main church.
It appears that St. Ruth folded sometime in the 1980's. By 1990, the church building was being used by Isaiah New Testament Way Missionary Baptist Church, but had fallen out of use by 2011. It is currently abandoned.

The Lee Plaza (Detroit)

The 15-story tower, clad in orange brick and decorated with elaborate stone carvings is still quite striking, even after over two decades of vacancy. Lee Plaza was a residential hotel when it opened in 1929 to tremendous acclaim. As noted in the building’s 1981 ...

Decommissioned power plant (the rust belt)
มุมมอง 6112 ปีที่แล้ว
Dysfunctional power plant we explored within the rust belt. With the power still on and the machine still humming the plant had an eerie feel to it. The plant was absolutely massive and a fun Explorer, So I figured I would share it with you all. The plant, which dates back to 1930 and was deactivated on Apr 14, 2015. It's 2022 And the plant is just sitting there the future is unclear.
Juvenile detention center (Detroit)

Join us as we explore this juvenile detention center in the Midwest. It housed some pretty violent offenders and mentally ill kids. I suspect the juvee closed around 2009. I heard from a good buddy of mine there is a crew working on it now. The future of this place is unclear we will just have to wait and see. I well updated the information when I know more. thank you everyone for the support.

Abandoned School (Detroit)

Abandoned Detroit school with power and everything left behind I mean everything! we suspect the school closed around 2014 or so. Because that's when the fire extinguisher's were last inspected. The school has been sealed up tight since I explore it. It is probably for the best. Thank you! for watching don't forget to subscribe and find me on social media!
St.Agnes school & church (Detroit)

In 1910, the LaSalle Park neighborhood was far from bustling downtown Detroit. Only a few houses had been built along 12th Street, leaving long open tracts of countryside. But Bishop John Foley, leader of the Detroit Catholic Archdiocese had watched the city grow rapidly, and knew that it wouldn’t be long before this area would fill up with houses too. With that in mind, he bought a parcel of l...

It was much cooler at night ngl
What a shame for such a beautiful building to go to waste. May it blessed n come back some day
Its Detroit least to be expected sadly
My old middle school so many memories here I’m upset that school went to waste like that man i graduated from here as well at first I didn’t believe it was a old asylum til everybody started saying it the basement was closed off and the other levels the 1st floor and second floor was the whole school fr
Get dizzy watching this fish eye camera setting you have
Damn it's so crazy I went there way back in 1997-98 interesting also very sad to see it like this inside so many memories and i can agree the overall setup layout was strange
The last I knew cops keeping a eye on the place. You can get in but coming out might be tricky. Been there many times back in the late 90's.
What do you mean coming out might be difficult? I was thinking of visiting the place and making a TH-cam video on my channel but if it's hard to get out then I don't want to go.
It closed in 2003, if you have been in the late 90’ were you a patient? Because the hospital was most definitely still open in the late 90’s
Surprised it's still standing.
Cool to see the place, it’s been sealed up every time I checked it out. Awesome municipal facility nearby though!
Yeah, it got sealed up pretty tight a few years ago. They were working on it at one point.But I don't think they got too far.
Definitely cause a trespassing charge 10 years ago here, somewhere deep in one of my relic pcs i have photography of the gym, video of climbing in the dumbell elevators, Laying in the gurney, inside too. On the top chimney, in the tunnels,
Thank you for doing this. It is going to be a great piece of history. Please be careful about and about.
What an absolute beauty
I missed so much there.. was so sketched out
I went here .. my mom's was the secretary there for over 20yrs .. love rose .. so many memories 😪
I ment to say the first floor of the auditorium didn't have any arm rests still standing so that means that scrapers will start to come up to the balcony area and start taking the arm rests out too.
I very shocked how scrapers could take all of the seat arm rests in auditorium from Cooley High School! I saw a video from the proper people and they went into the auditorium and all of the seat arm rests were still standing.
That building was used as a church in the late 80's.. God's Inspirational Kingdom.. 2627 Blaine near Linwood in Detroit 48206(?)
Awesome! ❤️🔥
Badass! ❤️🔥
Seen this on Facebook abandoned places then thought I’d see if it was on TH-cam and if it was as beautiful as the picture portrays. It’s even more beautiful. What a place!!
Did you remove an earlier video of Maheras/Gentry Rec Center?
My housemate's parents were shot to death in the parking lot just outside this facility in 1966, when he was an inmate there.
Who ever vandalized this place wrote everything in minecraft enchantment table language
That's funny. I do believe it is gang-related.
@@wastelandexplorer2973do you think this would a safe explore alone?
Whenever I see people spending that kind of money on a church I always have to wonder how many hungry could have been fed, how many could have been clothed or housed or had help with medical bills. I don't think Christians respect their Jesus very much.
Wow what a beautiful church sad to see it in the condition it is now😢
I graduated from Rose School in 1969.
real steel is the movie i think
Is it demoed now ?
Nope.
The corrupt Detroit cit government and Bedrock will tear down this theater!! The media is fucking lying to say that the theater will be restored because Bedrock only plans to restore the facade will be restored! Please don’t let these fucking criminals tear down our history!! We must add this theater to the National Historic Register where it can be protected from cultural terrorists “developers.”
Such an air of sadness to this place amplified by the great choice of music. And once again, props to you for entering alone! Pretty creepy in there.
All the renovation propaganda and no work being done huh
Amc was a great company to work for
Really cool. New permanent Subscriber. What drone are you flying?
Have school will 🧳 Travel😅
The structure of the school was different
h I thought they were going to restore or partially renovate this whole building
They always talk and never take action. I'm sure this place will be demolished before we know it. Last time I was there there were homeless people sleeping there
when was this video taken? there was a fire in may of 2022 that destroyed most of the building with the pool and auditorium, like everything was burnt to a crisp!
Ive been through every tunnel room and pass in that place it was awesome
How theyve got the place wired now?
@@aidanbennett7400not recently, people have been exploring sense it got shut down in 2003. Probably explored it 10+ years ago
agree. used to paint here like a decade ago. is any of this still there?
Should have went in by the fire station
Fun fact the current hospital next to this hospital called Hawthorne hospital has the same interior we also had to share some of the same yard as this place 😅😅 ( from personal experience was there when I was 16 )
Wonder when renovations are supposed to begin...
Great video Dustin, Lee is a classic Detroit landmark!
Thanks bud and I couldn't agree more..
I remember 😢
The amount of workmanship and time put into that architecture, clearly much of the Greco Roman icons were painted over. It’s sad seeing it in this state of despair, it’s almost unrecognizable in todays condition.
yall see the building with tree growing from the roof?
why not show the burnt down auditorium or basketball gym or the forest roof
exactly! this video was taken more than 8 months ago. there was a fire in the auditorium/basketball/pool building in summer of 2022, it was torn down quite a while ago
I saw your sticker when I went there…I think you can catch a glimpse of it in my video lol
i see bros stickers literally on the majority of buildings i go to
@@forrestfire you might be seeing some Pinetop Jackson stickers around too!
I love this! I hate they closed,and to finally get to see what was on these floors we wanted to know so bad
Thanks for the cool video. Always see this place from the outside but have never been inside, hope to find a way in this summer!
Unfortunately i went last weekend and they closed off the last tinny entrances and i scaled the whole thing your best option is jumping over the fence cause there are some spots to do it but its right next to the road so you gotta be careful and its easy to get caught, its a really cool experience tho if you do get in!
@@blakecolden4635 thanks! Appreciate that. I’m sure people will find ways to open it back up. Maybe one day I’ll get lucky & can have my adventure in there. Any idea what they do to ya if you get caught in there? Hopefully nothing too serious
Lol thats crazy we was there at the same time 12hrs ago too but the gate was blocked off how did u get in
This is old footage. If you walk around back and follow the nature trail there should be a way in.
@@wastelandexplorer2973 you’re a 🐐 for that
@@wastelandexplorer2973 i know they way your talking about but its blocked off now you have to jump the fence but people will see you
