Description
This little church was once called St. Luke Baptist Church but nicknamed Little Zion.It was built by and for the African American slaves in 1883.The land was once part of the Cleona Plantation.It became abandoned in the early part of 1970.The pastor retired and the people started attending other local churches.I went back there not long ago to take more photos. I was very sad to see that this old church had completely collapsed! I'm just grateful that I was able to photograph it a few times while it was still standing.
Taken in Chackbay Louisiana.
Here are some other photos I have of this church:

it's too bad this little church collapsed! it's sad that something with that kind of history was abandoned and eventually collapsed from years of neglect. at least you got some really good photos of it though!

Did you get inside? Or was it too dangerous?
Good shot

Thank you so much! I was able to look inside and saw that there was basically no floor left to speak of and all the walls were completely slanted. I wouldn't go inside because of a real fear of snakes and other creepy things.
