Garden Of Eaton

Over the weekend, French gothic revival-style church Eden Hall — inexplicably in Far Northeast Philadelphia — caught on fire, and police now suspect an arson.

Right. It’s probably just some stupid kids, and, while the church was pretty, it had been boarded up and abandoned for years, etc., etc. Let’s get to the Action News report:

The flames that devoured a historic former church in Philadelphia were started intentionally according to fire investigators. Firefighters struggled against the blaze at the former church early Sunday.

Action News was in Philadelphia’s Torresdale neighborhood overnight as flames shot through the roof of what was most recently called Eaton Hall.

Actually, I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t called Eatin’ Hall.
