Christian School: Folk Art Site

I visited Christian School, and there was nothing obvious that would suggest there is something inside to view. So whatever artwork that might have been here does not seem to be there any longer. The outside remains very artsy. I didn't stay long, as this area of town is a bit sketchy.

A preservationist group that restored Salt Lake City's Gilgal Garden hopes to restore Christian School, but for now the building remains closed, its interior artwork locked up.
