And Now, St. Saviour's Deconstructoporn

There was a time, up until a month ago, when this would have been destructoporn. The scene is in Maspeth at St. Saviour's Church, the battle for which we returned to many times. What appears at first glance to be destructoporn in this photo sent by a tipster is actually a brand new genre: deconstructoporn. Per an agreement that was finally reached after a long community battle, St. Saviour's is being moved to a new location. Apparently it is being taken apart to be relocated. Condos will most likely eventually rise on the site, which used to look a little different.
