$1 Bought Abandoned St. Augustine Church In St. Louis!

Unconfirmed rumor is the abandoned former Catholic church I've been fascinated with has found new owners for the sum of one US dollar.

St. Augustine, a 125-year-old gothic-style church, was originally built in the then largely German populated area of north St. Louis city in the 19th century. After being abandoned and neglected for years, a new non-profit community group called Project Augustine has taken ownership with intentions of revitalizing what's left of this epic historical structure. The group is seeking donations and volunteer assistance in making this happen.

2024 Update: This church has caught fire 3 more times since this publishing, and demolished this year.

I think of myself as a Sentimental Video Artist, something I've never heard of but that I feel best expresses my motivation and purpose behind my video creations. The goal is to contribute to the documentation of history in some small way, while evoking emotion, memories and nostalgia for fellow humans, well enough to make a living.
