"Off Broadway", an art gallery, was in a church for a while. I'm not too keen on seeing churches stripped of their embellishments, such as was noted with the church mentioned before. Some documentation of it, at least, out to be kept somewhere in case the church was to come back. Another successful re-use of an ecclesiastic building here was in a Presbyterian church (catecorner of St. Patrick's Catholic church) into a fancier restaurant. It is still in operation - "La Renaissance". This is particularly sad to witness, but these building can still retain use for a city's inhabitants with a little creativity. The light in particular lends them to use in art galleries.Andrew Kottenstettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06625700803152931578noreply@blogger.com
