Senior Housing Set to Replace Abandoned South Bronx Church at 1017 Home Street

7:00 am on July 28, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

On a cold January day in 2009, a pipe burst and flooded the boiler of the Home Street Presbyterian Church, in the Foxhurst section of the Bronx. A small electrical fire destroyed the boiler for good, and the company that insured the church failed during the Great Recession.

Now, the 1910 structure will be demolished to make way for affordable senior housing.
