The ruins of Saint Mary's Catholic Church, Fort Wayne. The Church was struck by lightning and burned down on Sept. 2, 1993. The walls were preserved for a while because the church considered using them to rebuild the church, but in the end they were demolished and the ugliest most godawful building replaced the old church, once one of the most beautiful in the city.
