“It felt cold, rather empty and eerie—not so much a creepy eerie, but a more interesting one,” said Joo. “As I wandered the halls and rooms I imagined the wild parties which must have taken place within these walls.”

But of the many abandoned places Joo has photographed, he said that Tyson’s home is one of the best-preserved locations. “It makes a perfect candidate for the church to move into and build their sanctuary,” he said. “Structurally the home is wonderful and I can’t wait to see the restoration completed over time.”

Many areas of the home will be transformed into new spaces. For example, the bedrooms will become classrooms and the garage will become a nursery.
