On reusing churches
The Atlantic Monthly website on 11.25.2018 published an essay by Jonathan Merritt, "America's Epidemic of Empty Churches." In the second paragraph he describes the conversion of the church of St. Vincent de Paul, Williamsburg, into apartments, with a one-bedroom unit renting as high as $4,812 per month. The article is worth reading, as it discusses the types of church conversions across our country.
