NEGLECTED

A former church turned pharmacy turned urban eyesore sits empty and neglected in the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati.

What a shame. It still retains some of it's former glory. If I had lotsa money I'd buy and redeem old beautiful buildings.

How I LOVE those neglected doors...the wear and tear is just another sign of their personality! Beautiful!

This once beautiful doorway needs a bit of work. Your capture of the neglect it has endured is beautiful.

great capture...would have loved to see it as a pharmacy...we have a local one which now contains individual art, craft and antique shops..its beautiful! I would love to convert one into a home too!

A church to a pharmacy? I guess a drug is a drug. Those are really impressive doors.

I'm afraid it would lose all its character if it was cleaned up - so much more detail to see when enlarged, especially those brick walls.

you have done an interesting shot, one time must have been a beautiful portal, but now seems rather depressing. Nevertheless I like the picture!

It sure hangs on to its former beauty even in neglect.

Guess you don't have to add any grunge to this one.
