Spokesperson for Redeemer Project Says Church Not Slated for Imminent Demolition
An article published last Friday in a popular real estate website claims that the now-defunct Church of the Redeemer near Barclays Center is slated for imminent demolition.
However, a spokesman for the Redeemer Project says that assertion is premature.
According to a Nov. 22, 2013 story in Brownstoner, “Neighbors have been trying to save Boerum Hill’s Church of the Redeemer since the summer of 2012, when the diocese announced its plans to demolish the Gothic Revival structure at 24 4th Avenue. Unfortunately, it seems like the site is destined for high-rise condos.”
