Show Notes
New York Citys Landmarks Preservation Commission deliberated on the fates of two historic churches this week. Saint Marys Catholic Church on the Lower East Side, built in 1833, was unanimously granted landmark status, marking the first time one of architect Patrick Charles Keeleys New York City works will be protected. Meanwhile, the West Park Presbyterian Church on the Upper West Side faced arguments for its demolition, with church leaders citing costly repairs and opponents highlighting potential funding sources. No decision was made on West Park, with both cases set to return for further discussions, highlighting the challenges faced by the citys aging houses of worship.
