(H) Built Environment Description

This image is the view of the interior of the sanctuary of the church. It is a very practical, minimalist church. It features 3 columns of pews about 20 rows deep, give or take a few on the side columns. There is one organ, roped off to the left. This is where “Mama King” was when her shooter entered the church. There are signs for the hymn numbers boarded on each side of the stage. The entire effect is symmetrical. There is an image of Jesus in the very center. The pews are cold and hard reconstructions of the originals. The entire building was rather cool, about 68-70 degrees, probably in order to cool off the visitors who have just come in from the hot sidewalks. The knowledge of the events of the place give off an eerie mood, but also a very reverent one as well since it is a sacred space.
