I seem to remember there being a really beautiful old Mormon church building in Washington DC at the church ended up needing to abandon maybe because the church was not thriving at the time. I can't remember what other organization took over the building – but if I remember correctly it was a large stone building. I'll try to find a picture.
In any case, the Salt Lake Tribune article yesterday about how the Mormon Church's growth is rapidly declining – especially in United States – makes me wonder if we will see a day when the church is forced to abandon buildings. It seems like there would be considerable financial loss involved in the sale of these buildings, but maybe I am wrong.
See attached photo of abandoned LDS Church. Apparently they sold it to the Moonies of all people! Wtf. And it was sold in 1977. Maybe the Moonies just made a great offer.
