Christian Street Baptist Church was built in 1890 for the congregation of the Protestant Episcopal Italian Mission & Church of L’Emmanuello. It breaks my heart to see this architectural gem being demolished, so that a developer can build overpriced condos in it’s place. This comes on the heels of Mario Lanza’s childhood home being razed, I feel like my neighborhood will soon be unrecognizable. This is Philadelphia, do we no longer care about preserving our history?

Not anymore. It’s ALL about money… and payoffs under the table to…?
It’s a disgrace, it breaks my heart every time I walk past it. They could have renovated it and made condos – but there’s more money in building two monstrosities.
