The Church With No Floor in Cleveland, Ohio.
(via Jessie Barber Photography)This is what used to be the St. Joseph Byzantine Catholic Church. It was built in 1933 and designed by Joseph E. Fronczak. In the ’70s, the original owners moved the church location to the suburbs, leaving the building to the Greater Zion Hill Baptist Church community. The group left the building abandoned.
“Getting into this location was extremely easy. The doors were missing. I wish I knew who the mural artist was, as the ceiling and walls of the church were quiet amazing. For whatever reason, the floors have been busted out, hence the nickname “The Church with No Floor.”“
