A fight over a landmarked Upper West Side church will ramp up this weekend as neighbors, activists and celebrities, including actor MarkRuffalo, hold a rally outside. DaveCarlinTV reports they want to keep the church from being torn down.
For 133 years, the West-Park Presbyterian Church was the most noticeable thing at West 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. It was given landmark status 13 years ago by the city Landmarks Preservation Commission ."They want to de-landmark it so they can tear it down and build another 20-story luxury high-rise here," Ruffalo said.
"I just know that this building is going to be the next domino to fall unless there's some sort of intervention," preservation lawyer Michael Hiller said. "We see it as the only practical way forward for this congregation to survive," said Roger Leaf, chairman of West-Park Presbyterian's administrative commission.
