Exploring an Abandoned Church in Trenton, NJ - Built 1875
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This church in Trenton was originally built in 1875 as a Presbyterian Church. In 1994 it became the Imani Community Church which is a progressive African American congregation. Unfortunately funds ran low, repairs were neglected and they abandoned it in 2006. It is a breath taking structure full of masterful carpentry and stonework. It is now owned my the city of Trenton. Anybody else want to help me save this place and preserve it at the very least? Comment your ideas! I would gladly donate a few hundred hours of labor and some money of my own. Kills me to see this it rot. Its worth saving. `

Trenton will always be home! I like how you guys go inside buildings I pass every day and always wonder what it looks like inside.
Appreciate you watching Gabriella! Let me know if you ever have any other building recommendations.
Facts i pass this church on a regular and always wondered what happened to it... O yeaj hey gab
Hey Way!!!!
@@MrWaYmontana Where's it at?
@@LoneLee2022 out west idk if iya spring passaic or what bt its near jarvis place at da 3-way intersection
I truly love these exploration videos of old buildings thanks for sharing Chris 👍🏼 do stay safe
OMG 😍 I absolutely LOVE the residence. I'd love to buy it and refurbish it. I could definitely fill most of it. 7 kids so they'd each get their own room. My husband would absolutely fall in love with the kitchen. I definitely wouldn't be allowed in there anymore🤣. Add my old school stereo/record player to a room have a few of them set up for music and theater and library, which you'd probably never get my oldest daughter, my sister or myself out of 🤣. I could use all the school stuff for my homeschooled kids. This place would be absolutely AWESOME!!
The art work in that building is amazing!
That inner structure where he was walking just freaked me out. Incredible. It looked like the most intricate tree house ever or something. LOL.
The church is such a beautiful building and the woodwork so impressive. Sad but beautiful. Thanks for showing this.
I can’t believe they left that beautiful stain glass there.
Can't believe they would leave that organ
Amazing how you have the balls to crawl into those places. Great video, again as usual!
Amazing construction. And how stuff is just left as it was. Very interesting video.
Really enjoying your exploring videos! It’s so hard to come by actual fun explorations and love the commentary about the different materials inside the buildings. Felt like we learned a lot!
Awesome to hear! I appreciate you checking them out and thank you for the feedback.
I see you also do some exploration. Just subscribed. I'll have to check some of your stuff out when I turn on the TV later
What's the most confusing day of the year in Trenton ? Father's day.
Your corny
My brother used to play the organ there for Sunday services for a couple of years
That steinway should be restored
You definitely went farther than most in this exploration.
Where is this address 😅
What a beautiful church. They don't make "em like that anymore.

I went to my Brownie Troop at the church. ☹️
The residence was first job out of high school. My grandmom was an LPN at the infirmary there. I was a nurse aide at that time. No training needed back then. I was 98 lb then. I remember one patient. She was at least 325 lb. was not able to do anything herself. I rolled her washed her. Gave her messages. Fed her, combed her hair. Changed her etc. what 18 yo could you find today to do all of that. I think I made $5 hr. In the residence I would sit and visit. I remember two women as if it were yesterday. One a retired school principal. She was 100 yo still smart as a whip. Very tall, thin. The other woman was 98 yo. She was retired teacher. She always had me laughing. Wonderful memories from both places.
What lovely memories! Thank you Ruth! Tell me more :)
I read your aloud at breakfast time with my girl. It brought smiles to both of our faces And painted a marvelous picture in our minds.
Dude you're absolutely nuts, you make me so nervous when you climb through those sketchy rafters. But I do find it extremely entertaining. Awesome video
Mint apple jelly is for lamb I work in a rectory for 15 years
Thanks for the tour, I'd be more afraid of getting arrested than getting hurt
Use to be a school too
So sad I know were this church is somebody needs to save it.
I would gladly save the stained glass $$$
They got the Kingston Trio and Doris Day records that's neat I knew Doris Day was a movie star but did not know she sung but her son Terry Melcher was a producer so I could see her getting into singing. The kingston Trio was a folk group the only song I know of them is the Tom Dooley song from when I was a kid.
Doris Day was very widely acclaimed as a singer in her day. sigh
Abandoned Church? God Damn it! Why is it abandoned?
such a beautiful structure...so sad
Seriously. I wish there was something I could do. Makes me want to get together a bunch of volunteers and then go to the city with a plan to rehabilitate it
Very Sad. Remnants of a past time era.
That is a very nice church even though it’s a Bandan be careful when you are exploring watch out for the cop
I always heard that some of the stained glass here are Tiffany…? (Went to church here about 30 years ago…I am so sad to see this beautiful church in this condition.)
I love my city, so much history and such beautiful architecture. Great video guys
hoodlums in NJ are built different,, instead of destroying, spray painting and pissing all over the buildings they organize the rooms into themes and stage scenic walk throughs
Awesome to see how many times the church had new stuff built within the old!
Yeah so incredible! So much history
In Europe and USA your ancestors built you a house of God but your current generation and parents call it Halloween day, you have forgotten the God of building and it is very sad.
Beautiful stained glass window. Can't believe they're still intact.
Iam looking to start my new church , I would love to gain property for my new church home in congregation and for the community to do outreach and resource lunch and dinner programs, for less fortunate youth seniors
Prospect Street Presbyterian Church?
So nice the stain glass wasn't broken or stolen.
Why tf would anyone be so loud and disrespectful when visiting a place like this??
Who?
Another Trenton disgrace - I used to vote here before Imani took it over and ruined it
Mint flavor apply jelly is a Irish thing. Man Ill take the sewing machine, and table any day.
Could this be repurpose for so much good like feeding people housing with gods will
You were doing your best BATMAN LOL
Prospect
What part of Trenton? What streets?
Well that went well.
wow Awesome footage!! I love exploration of abandoned dwelling! def some staged rooms! Idk about u but if i were homeless, Id def be camped out in there...
Love the music SCARY!!!!!!
Gods will my new home
Chris and Jenn. I do not know if you will ever read this comment, and I am sure someone will attack me for it, however I feel compelled to tell you both something. You expressed some disgust about the terrible grafhetti portraying a blaphmous act in the church. You mentioned that you had only went to a church acouple of times and I could tell that your fate was on your heart. I would urge you to get a bible or look online at 1st corthioans 15 verses 1 through four and really think about what is written there. I doubt that I will never meet you in this life, but we are brothers in our intrests. I am much older though 66 yrs old now. What you and Jenn have is so important, but what Jesus did for you is infinatly more important. Peace be with you Man.
Quit your babbling dude.
@@steveww07 ... classy.
WOW this place is awesome! Reminds me of a church not far from ours in STL. Not familiar with the area you guys are in or what steps you’d have to take to get ownership, but it looks like a great project to take on if you’re serious about it!
Yeah it's a pretty rad Church. I actually had one of the Rev from First Presbyterian Church in Trenton reach out to me and she's interested in rehabilitating it. She's looking into it. Hopefully that works out
Nice that's up in west Trenton I think
Yeah. Not far from Calhoun Street Bridge
Wow! Sad to see. I used to drive past that church during the week when it was in use. That was back in 92 when I worked in Trenton and attended school there at Trenton State college (know the College of New Jersey). Yup, brings back memories of just getting out of the Army and home from the Gulf War. I dated a girl who lived a couple of blocks from there. She was serious about me and trying to get married, I wasn't. LOL
search : Mud Flood reset ...lean what the heck is really going on in the God forsaken place ....
I remember walking past this church all the time with my uncle! Never seen the inside til this video!!
Good old memories during the early 90s. Now I live in Georgia! Thanks for the memories
Where is this?
Would like to buy
It is horse hair.
The mattress stuffing is guess what ?....Horse hair not kidding
Is it possible to get the address and get a tour of this place tommorow?
You should be able to find it if you just type in abandoned churches in Trenton.
Intro and outro music was great.
I liked the floating toilet.
Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Bach. incredible piece! and haha yea that bathroom was funny looking!
Fear not
Time to stand up for what are truly blessings stay firm
Doesn't anyone see the beauty?
I wonder if you had to get permission to go inside of there🤔
I wander if the neighbors are hearing the pipes 🤩
All these years I think I may have only been inside once or twice
I'm pretty sure quite a few people have been there. I've actually ran into people there. Did you see the video I did climbing to the top of the belfry there?
No this is my first time coming across your channel.
I used to live in Trenton what street is that on?
Cool, love the walk through videos
Wow it's crazy how that church got closed down I been in that church on 2003 for one month also it's sad too how homeless people and drug addicts sleep in there and also do drugs in there and drink too and that church is in the hood and bad area too also so much drugs and addictions around there.
Is it still closed down ?
The stained glass is really cool !
How did you get in
If you do a Perimeter Walk you will find multiple entrances
When you were in the computer room, did you hear any voices? We had multiple voices in that room and saw quite a few light orbs while in the small children's classroom.
@finalfateofficial @epicexploration
Nah.
