RE: Nice building. Wonder how much is occupied?

Here in New York, especially the suburbs, I see a lot of traditional, century old churches ( many with wonderful heritage style architecture ) being sold to or taken over by Asian Christian Congregations ( most of them Koreans and Chinese ).

If this trend I see occurs elsewhere, I will not be surprised to see that Nice PCUSA building for sale in the not too distant future. I just hope it will be to a church and not to a secular business or school.

Seeing it right now, in my little city (~25K) in West Rustbelt, USA. 2 PCUSA congregtions, turned into one, turned into none. One United Methodist congregation dwindled, and merged with another. Smaller church buildings abandoned here and there around town, in (now) slum areas.

Nice old buildings, that they built in the 19th century, that we in the early 21st couldn't possibly afford to maintain. We're not as rich as we like to think we are.
