St. Barbara’s Roman Catholic Church in Bushwick gets landmarked
It was on the Landmarks Preservation Commission's Backlog95 list
Long live Bushwick’s new landmark!
On Tuesday, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to designate St. Barbara’s Roman Catholic Church as an individual city landmark — despite the Diocese of Brooklyn’s opposition.
This means the century-old Spanish Mission Revival-style church, which has a dome and two 175-foot-tall towers, cannot be demolished or undergo exterior alteration without LPC approval.
