Following up on a post from several months ago, there is a chance to save the beautiful, but seriously endangered Church of the Holy Innocents. For more information, please see this link:

As for the " development " add; There is
ReplyDeletemuch uncertaintly behind it. It's obviously
originating from Hop House and Bishop
Emikritus Howard Hubbard who fouded it and
operates it's funding corporation. Hope
House has acted like they sim;y wanted
Holy Innocents out of the way ever since
they got virtually for free in the
midst of Mike Linehan's bankrupcy
proceedurs in 1997. They immediatly started demoliish it through neglect. As
early as 2003, then Hope House c.e.lo
Paul Farino told me the interiro was
becoming compromised, but yes he would
allowed myself and all of the HIsoric Sites Commission a tour of the interior
Then he postponed it from the date set
due to theeir Annual Golf Ball benefit.
Then he put it off more and it never
haqpped. Then later Hope House solictied
for takers for the church but with about
8 takers they were all rejected by
the next c.eo. Kevin Connors on questioable grounds of " inappropriateness" but bear in mind that
some were religous groups and public
interst types. Now this new ad has the
problem of any respondents being leary of
dealing with the @ million cited for cost
of full restoration. Wy that much ? Becouse no one including the City and
Historic Albany has revealed that the
entire chancle arch collpsed on May 2nd.
not just the south east corner. That
never should have happened and I'm still
not convineed by the explanations offered. There are rumors of the ground
sliding in back and that the chancel might have to be denikusged. The other
version is that there is an intent to
demolish the entire church. If the chancel only is demolished then the Whole
place would be removed from the State
and National Registers and these wouldn't have to be delt with by
whoever took the nave and all the knaves
involved would get waht they want. What
about the rare and unique John Bolton
windows ? Yes ! John Bolton one of the
brothers who after setting up their
stained glass studio in Pelhan in 1842
designed and produce the first figurative
stained glass in the U.S. This was for
Christ Church Pelham and is still carfuly
prserved there. Look it up on the internet. Now in additon it has just been found that the chancl ceiling is
magniicently decorated with fine
stencil work displaying goldne star
altering with white lilies on a blue
ground. What to happen to all of this
and more not yet mentioned. Well theres'
museums and there are some Episcopal
churches who might take them. There
are too many secrets in all of this. and
the secret meetings at the Mayhor Office
don't help either. This church neds to
be preserved with all of it's conmponents
intact and resored to have any meaning as
as an Albany treasure and a sacred place.

You have said the right. It's an important matter to be considered. But for redeveloping or saving a church church mortgage in USA can be a need of churches.
ReplyDeleteA very right step!I support it! For saving a church, church financing in USA plays a very important role.
