The Baptist church on Schermerhorn Street and 3rd Avenue has been put on the market for $8 million. So far the listing is short on details aside from noting that the property represents a “development opportunity.” The building, which is on the National Register but isn’t a city landmark, was damaged by a fire last year. We’re interested in knowing whether the sales pitch involves a conversion or razing but have yet to hear back from the brokers.

  1. It would be nice if the building is preserved as it is beautiful, but I am more than happy to have it put on the tax rolls as a condo or rental. I am against tax subsidies for the rich ……and for religion.

  2. This building is not landmarked so I doubt it will be reused as housing.
    The more likely scenario is that it will be razed and the new apartment building will include a small worship space and community facility, which is bonus FAR.
