The Sanctuary by ggshearron

The Sanctuary

Former church, operating as an event venue for the last 20 or so years, stands proudly in the waning sun. The Gahanna Sanctuary is the only example of Gothic Revival religious architecture in Gahanna and features Von Gerichten stained glass windows. By the time the Von Gerichten brothers parted ways in the 1930's, their company had created an estimated 1,800 stained glass windows for about 850 churches across the country. While not all 1800 Von Gerichten stained glass windows still exist, the majority of the windows, like those in The Sanctuary, still grace the buildings in which they were originally installed.

We have a lot of redundant churches in the UK too. What is this one used for now?
