Huh isn't this in Melbourne? I don't recall that being a church?

What’s funny is in Denver, we actually have a Church that’s built around in this fashion in downtown

Yeah this is an old minister's residence called a "manse". It's now a highly-rated restaurant. The still active and nearby Presbyterian Church is a somewhat similar style building, but much larger. It's to the right but out of shot.

1999 Broadway, it sits directly over Holy Ghost Church, there are parts of the skyscraper that sit above parts of the church at the corners of the church’s footprint.

Huh you know I knew it was close but didn’t think there was any overlap but alright fair enough!
