232-adelphi-street-091714

A tipster sent us this photo of the restoration work under way at 232 Adelphi Street, the once badly deteriorated St. Mark’s Protestant Episcopal Church where a conversion to 12 condo units has been in the works for years.

The developers “appear to be successfully repairing the stone on the church on the Adelphi side, which was the hottest of messes before,” the tipster told us. “I wouldn’t have thought it possible it could look so good. Real slate roof, copper details — bravo.”

The landmarked building is now known as Carlton Mews. It is related to the Carlton Mews townhouse development at 225-233 Carlton Avenue where a worker was tragically killed in an accident in 2012, but the two sites have different owners.

  1. Wow. This looks pretty fantastic so far, unlike so many other church conversions. (I’m looking at you “Spire Lofts”)
