South Britain Methodist Episcopal Church // 1839

Constructed in 1839 by the Methodist Society of South Britain, Connecticut, this dilapidated old church has classic Greek Revival features including a flush sided facade divided into bays by Doric pilasters, a central double-leaf four-panel door, and high narrow windows. The church sits in the South Britain National Register District, which sadly does not provide any tangible protections for the building, which has been decaying for years. The square belfry was removed (or collapsed) a couple years ago and I would imagine there is some water damage from openings in the roof. What would you like to see this old church converted into?
