"Not only is it one of Brooklyn's most beautiful churches, designed by an important Brooklyn architect, George P. Chappell, not only does it have a gorgeous interior and a very valuable signed Tiffany landscape window, not only are the rest of the stained glass windows first quality, and not only are the church and rectory one of a kind and unique, it's also the church I used to attend."
"The listing says that following the passage of the Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use Plan, the property has 181,317 buildable square feet as-of-right and could be used for one 'massive flagship development' or a number of 'smaller, phased projects.'"
A late 19th century Romanesque Revival style church in Crown Heights, landmarked in the 1970s, is being marketed as a development site. The property includes the church, rectory, and parish hall, with the latter already slated for demolition. The site has significant buildable square footage due to recent rezoning. While the church is protected, the other buildings are not, leading to concerns about preservation. Critics question the implications of landmarking if it allows for potential development.
