A hard to get Church Find (update: 1929/1930 Graham?)
If you are the luckiest person in the world, you may snatch up a church full of antique motorcars. I was almost as lucky as that when I found the decaying church which houses a hoard of sleeping beauties. Sadly there was no way to get access to really see them. The only proof that I can show you is one glimpse through a window. This mysterious looking automobile was hard to identify (to me), so I let you guess. After this great adventure with lots of excitement, I told a nearby living collector about my amazing discovery. He told me that he knew this place already for 25 years and that he had been in contact with the owner in the past.
At that time the man also used a huge farm where he hoarded cars like Talbot-Lago, Delahaye, Facel Vega and more (ed. sounds like a Dutch 'Baillon'). The old church was completely shut for the outside world, except for one small crevice where I took my photograph. So I am still wondering what could be hiding inside. I am afraid the best cars have gone a long time ago. Anyway, I captured the spooky details of the building to give an impression of how a good church finding experience can be. The only way to really get inside is to burgler your way in or... to transform yourself into... a bat maybe."

Hey guys(AND GALS), I have a GREAT idea, why don't we try to figure out WHERE the church/school is, ONLY from what is given here. Anyone with insider knowledge is excluded this round. This is for purest connoisseurs only that seek to find only the ultimate in motoring icon fixer- upers.
I will start it off since I am from the Hudson River Valley. THAT is where the center of WORLD brick making was for over 100 years.
So, I can authoritatively say that I am 70/30 absolutely positive that this building is NOT on the East Coast, not in Chicago, and NOT in the Mississippi River Valley proper.
I need input.

I dont think that Rosemarijn Veenenbos'last sentence can reasonably be construed as to incite burglary, unless you have no sense of humour and take everything said or written at face value.
BTW: the "church" looks like a former school building with a chapel attached

Stuart and Paul,
Your comments are valid for the entire PUBLIC, but I "doubt" whether the ROOKIE REPORTER went on ANYONE'S property without INVITATION(which is a bit different than permission).
Since he DID NOT enter the OBVIOUSLY ACCESSIBLE opening, he did not advise burglary to anyone, he simply DEFINED BURGLARY for everyone to comprehend.
Let us keep to facts, and leave conjecture to the burglars.
Hey Rookie, I guess the owner wants to remain incognito?

I fully agree with Stuart Penketh. The site is known by more people like me and it is also widely known that the owner does not want to have any contact or correspondance about his cars.
It is wrong and one should not intrude someones privacy, he has not blinded it without reason. It could attract wrong people.
The church is from the beginning of the 20th Century.

Please don't advise Burglary as a way to see the vehicles.
Firstly, they are private property, and,
Secondly, you are advocating the damaging, of possibly a historic structure.
The correct procedure is to find the owner, and ask permission.

Rosemarijn, outrageous, great to see women interested in automobiles that last forever.
WHO CARES what it is, is the CHURCH for sale?
Just kidding, I really do care, where is it?
The windows are special, ROMANESQUE from the Middle Ages before Gothic became the norm, and the brickwork is also special, end bonded courses alternating with common bond courses, SUPER STRONG. (Those cars were not meant to leave for a LONG time).
I say "MARMON"(to 1933), good cars.
