Islamic Society Eyes Old Church for Masjed
The former site of St. John Episcopal Church at 9818 Fort Hamilton Parkway is being eyed by the Islamic Society for their new place of workship. The Church dates back to 1834 and was built by soldiers,
It’s a nice piece of property that hasn’t been used in years. Three years ago, the defunct church came into political play during our election when a sign that sat outside on a tree was removed and thought of as a victory. The reality is no one cared about the sign and no one cared about that movement because it wasn’t mentioned in years! At the time, the building was for sale and the realtor said there was an interested buyer, but they must have backed out.
I’m going to guess that this building will see new owners within three months.
