Yeah, it's definitely closed, but untouched so far.
[Nat Collins, 10/08/2024]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.
