Re: Linwood Presbyterian Church plan moves forward
Are there plans to connect it to the weird tower that's by itself?

Yes, they were auctioned off.
Re: Linwood Presbyterian Church plan moves forward
They must have done that right after the church closed. My bus went by there in the mid-80's and the plywood was in the window openings then.

I believe that the building closed as a Presbyterian church in the 1970s. Linwood Presbyterian was a thriving church in the 1950s, but the neighborhood was well into its decline by 1960. There was a massive bell in the main tower. Not sure if it is still there or not. The place does have a legacy; several nationally significant preachers learned their trade at Linwood Pres.
