Figurative windows have been removed (and hopefully any important objects) but much of the stained glass in this church was not figurative. The lack of figurative glass is probably a reflection of the economics of the original parishioners.
The non figurative glass was probably perceived by the boys at the archdiocese as being of little or no value. Anyone who has ever been to an antique shop or salvage yard knows differently. The up side of this is whoever gets the contract to tear down the building can turn a fast buck on the remaining 19th century glass.
As you can see the building is open to the elements and an easy mark for vandals hopefully some of the glass will survive the archdiocese not so benign neglect.
