Urban-exploring in Charlotte, beyond
Mert Jones
Mert Jones, who says the first time she ventured into an abandoned building to take photos was in the sixth grade, stumbled upon this church in west Charlotte one cold day earlier this month. “When I was inside I felt bad for the congregation of the church because they had to close the doors. I was [also] thinking of people without shelter who could really benefit from knowing about this space. They could be sheltered from the snow and cold here. That felt ironic to me because a church is by definition a haven of sorts for people, but here is one that sits empty, not a haven for anyone.”
