If you haven’t seen it yet, witness this architectural gem while you still can. The owners will likely demolish it eventually.
Built in 1917 as the First United Brethren Church, this structure served as a meeting place for congregations at 3300 N. Nebraska Avenue until about a decade ago. It still stands as one of the most respectable and inspiring examples of architectural design in the city.
Unfortunately, the building has deteriorated throughout the years. Deeper Life Christian Church has owned the building since 1993. Permits for interior remodel were granted in 2016 and 2019. It appears work never started.
Whether time has caught up with the building or demolition by neglect is taking its course, it appears this cathedral is destined to fall.
