church on basin

 

This church on Basin Street (not that Basin Street in New Orleans, but the one in Littlefield) is one of the defunct ones.  It's not as dilapidated as some of its neighbors but probably has not been closed as long.  The concrete ramp is interesting.  It probably pre-dates ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) because the slope doesn't meet ADA requirements.  Perhaps the ramp was built to make it easier for pallbearers to carry caskets in for services.  Surely it wasn't for little old ladies in wheelchairs--  making for speedy heavenly departures.
