Being a steward of it's agony. I belong now to the UU society in Geneva Illinois which is also a historic structure but easier to maintain. This is an interesting little corner of Elgin with three old Churches on it. Only one still functions as a Church. A further few blocks away are some other huge historic Churches. Elgin is flush with casino money now and their is a desire by many to preserve old buildings so their may be some options for this building for non Church purposes. Thank the great being for gamblers I guess.
