Hello All,

I've posted a free online petition to the Landmarks Preservation Commission asking them to landmark the Sisters of Mercy Convent. Take a look, please sign, and send it along! Thanks.

The Landmarks Commission landmarked two big Catholic Church complexes in Harlem in 2006 so it can be done.

I can set it up, it's very easy. I just want to get a little more information on the building before doing it. If anyone has more details or photos please let me know!

What a great idea Cobblegirl, I would be happy to create a petition if people would send it around. I think even those who don't like landmarking would look at this building complex and have second thoughts about tearing it down.

I know the article said it could take $20 million to fix-up but I wonder if Pratt would be willing to purchase it for students and classrooms. It would be a complete shame to lose it and the chapel interior is fantastic.
