Is the church on the site being demolished?
It’s a terrible sin this beautiful building will be demolished. NYC needs to figure out how to do better.
This story is seriously behind the reality. The church, rectory, and school at this propery were completely demolished last year.
People can’t live in a church, the churches have run out of money. The have to sell its that simple
A permit was filed, for demolition, to build the new units.
I don’t know how this could be enforced but if a church structure must be demolished I’d like to see a requirement to salvage and reintegrate the dominate facade element into the architecture of the replacement structure. With care and effort, that handsome ledgestone or granite or whatever it is could be the facade material for another 100 years.
I’m so confused why is this being posted today? That church got demolished long ago and the new apartment building has already been constructed.
Google image is from July/2022
Actually Charles c Campbell it’s not that simple. You never heard of the term adaptive reuse? Churches have been transformed into many uses. Including as bases for skyscrapers. In addition there are plenty of lots to build on that have nothing of historic or artistic worth. So try to be a bit more open-minded and less simplistic
Hello I’m interested in a studio or one bedroom apartment
This is not a real estate for sale/rent site!!!
Went to this school in 2008-10 this was my 5th/6th grade year. It was called Epiphany Lutheran. I dont know what has happened during the time I wasnt here but man. Times change, I wouldn’t have thought this school/church would be demolished years later.
