Hidden Gems


The most interesting part of urban exploration is you will never know what you will come across while searching. The picture about is actually a Star of David that was covered over after a former synagogue became a church.
In the next picture the original wording is still on the building and the Star of David follows after the Star of David there were Hebrew letters that were filled in with cement as well ( I could not read them). I have often found when a synagogue is sold to a church the corner stones are often removed as well.
The hidden gem here is the Star of David. So what makes this so fascinating? This building has a history behind it, at first it was a Jewish home of worship and now it lives its life as a Christian Church.
Many times I don't go in search of any place in particular I just go for a ride seeking out the hidden gems I may find on a given day. What I look for are buildings with unique architecture or buildings that have begun a new life.
