This is the East side of the old abandon church that faces and oversees Richmond, VA's Hebrew Cemetery.

 

Located across the street from the historic Shockoe Hill Cemetery (which I only recently discovered), the Hebrew Cemetery inters 30 Jewish Confederate soldiers from the Civil War amongst many civilian Jewish graves, and is the only Jewish military cemetery residing outside of Israel.

 

The old church on location who's roof is shown here in a 5 exposure merged hdr capture is indeed boarded up, abandon and falling apart, but the cemetery itself is kept up nicely by the Beth Ahabah congregation located on Franklin St. in the heart of Richmond.
