Over the past few months, we’ve told you a couple of times about the the conversion of the former Calvary Church at 16th & Fairmount to ten condo units by Loonstyn Bros. LLC. This impressive adaptive reuse of an old church gives us hope that some other endangered church buildings might be saved, preserving architectural diversity in our fair town.

Good stuff

Unfortunately, the new residents at this address have had a view of a blighted garage across the street, owned by Spring Garden CDC .

Ugh

Last week, a couple of readers tipped us off that this unfortunate building is finally coming down! Wonderful news for everyone in the neighborhood!

Yes indeed

No idea about what will replace it or when, but we’ll keep our ears open…
