St. Joseph Then vs. Now

 In April of 2010, Jeffrey Smith took many photos of St. Joseph in Maumee. A lot has changed in 14 years, so I decided to recreate his photos. I don't feel like reposting his photos, so you can find all his photos here. 

The first image was of the main altars. Many things have changed, most notably the cross, St. Joseph and the carpet color. The ambo is gone too.

The next image is of the Sacred Heart altar. As mentioned before, the St. Joseph statue has been moved.

The next image is the BVM altar. The St. Ann statue has been moved to the back of church. 

The base of the altar hasn't changed.

The confessionals no longer have that ugly red curtain, instead getting matching doors.

All of the stations were painted from that weird pink and white. This is the 8th station, Jesus Consoles the Women.

This is the first station, Jesus is Condemned to Death.

The angel font statues haven't changed, but almost everything around it has. The poles supporting the balcony are no longer pink, the confessionals have doors, and some stuff has been moved from behind the statue.

This area hasn't been changed much. This used to be the staircase to the balcony, but when they put more seating up there, they made a safer staircase and removed this one. It is now just storage space.

The last image is the entry doors. Basically nothing has changed.

As for the rest of the images, you can find them by typing "Joseph Maumee" in the search bar.
