In Remembrance of Pilgrim Baptist

(photos by Lee Bey) 

I almost let the week slip by without remembering the Pilgrim Baptist Church fire of Jan 6, 2006. The first three photos in this entry were taken by me at daybreak the day after the fire. The rest were taken the night of this terrible blaze at 3301 S. Indiana that claimed everything but the four stone walls of this Adler & Sullivan designed masterpiece. I don't know if much has happened since Edward Lifson reported this a nearly a year ago. Also check out a WBBM TV news report from the morning after. You might recognize one of the people they interviewed.

I wonder if there's anything new at the church has there been any start on reconstruction as of yet?
