Gone: Church of the Magdalen Teen Town

Church of the Magdalen CYC building which hosted Teen Town in the 60s.
I took this photo shortly before the building was razed.
Google street view shows it standing and then an emptry lot. See it before the images are updated on google by landing on Sutherland and KHW then navigate east.
