New London - First Congregational Church Collapse

[DrFreewind]

A beautiful church built in 1850 collapsed today in New London, luckily no one was inside at the time. A loss of some great architecture that sadly will probably not be rebuilt.

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure about the whole anti-ADA diatribe at the end . . .
