amoxill 0 Posted February 26, 2011 Just read this morning that Christ the Redeemer Episcopal is to be shut down and demolished. What a total bummer.My link Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfwcre8tive 40 Posted March 29, 2011 Interesting building. Here's another story about the demolition: http://culturemap.com/newsdetail/03-27-11-church-of-redeemer-imperiled-architecture/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travelguy_73 17 Posted March 29, 2011 Not that it will happen, but what a fantastic location for a neighborhood park. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNiche 947 Posted December 7, 2011 The buildings are all still there, I presume due to the contract with T-Mobile. Does anyone have any news about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickWallingford 1 Posted February 7, 2012 Boy Scout Troop 4 met here on Tuesday evenings in the early/mid 1960s, down in the basement area. There were a number of small rooms, and with no window lighting, it was rather gloomy at the best of times. The church had some other use planned, and moved the troop on (it became Troop 654, meeting at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on Lawndale).

chrispy 16 Posted February 28, 2012 I will miss this church! Not only is it a beautiful building but it has personal significance: my grandparents, John and Edith Grimmett, went here from the 1930's to the 1990's. I remember the church buying them a gently used Buick Century for their 50th wedding anniversary. How many churches do that these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrispy 16 Posted November 23, 2012 Don't quote me but my uncle (who still talks to people at the Redeemer) says that the Tellepsen family (who built the current church buildings in the 1950's) has donated enough to keep the church open and handle the major problems. Hopefully the diocese will decide to keep the building and help restore it for the 21st century. I'd like to hope more people attend services there if the church is reopened.

chrispy 16 Posted June 3, 2018 It's been a while! Husband and I have been living in the wastelands of New Caney for the past few years BUT my dad is pretty sick and is passing his home to me now. Once we fix the house up, we will move in and be back in the East End for good! <3 Anyway, I drove past the Church of the Redeemer several months ago and found a demolition crew out there. They were nice enough to let me look inside for a minute and snap a few pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

linearmovement 45 Posted January 10 Many of the windows have been replaced and there are people there doing work daily. Today there's a plumbing company van parked outside and construction noises coming from inside. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
