The Orion Apartments
THE ORION APARTMENTS
The Orion apartments located at 29 St. Helens across the street from our church, were build in 1979. There are 15 stories and 168 apartment units. Last week the Orion suffered an apartment fire that severely burned one of their residents. The fire was contained to one unit but there was massive water damage to over 60 different apartments and 20 of those families are displaced for the next few months while they work to clean up the damage. Please be praying for the Orion and the many families affected by this tragedy.
