If you’ve ever wondered what it looks inside a salvage site, here’s your chance to get first-hand look. On a stiflingly hot midsummer day, we ventured into a West Philadelphia church. The Gothic Revival cathedral was built in 1887 and stretched across a city block. Though it was once an integral part of the community, much of the building lay vacant for 14 years. With hoists, headlamps, and plenty of sheer manpower, our rigging team pulled chandeliers originally fitted for gas from towering ceiling. It’s easy to see that amongst the dust and rubble there was beauty in the wreckage.
