In Saturday's Buffalo News we learned that Rev. Roderick L. Hennings announced that his congregation purchased The Chapel in Amherst. "Good News" for his congregation and the residents of Amherst. Here's their website.
Further down in the article we learned that before the congregation leaves Buffalo they will be selling....NOT Leaving an empty building behind ....their current place of worship at 360 Genesse Street. This is very good news for the city, especially this side of the street. When they purchased the building in the early '90's this land mark building was ready for the wrecking ball and threatened with demolition. Charles Hendler from the Preservation Coalition shared this site with me which has pictures of what the place looked like back then. Great pics of older Buffalo churches, too.
Perhaps someone should let Bishop Kmiec know about the adaptive reuse of abandoned, boarded, derelict and vacant buildings. Like Bishop yo....waz up with the east end of Dodge Street at West Parade? Did you get your "free pass" from Housing Court, too?
Thank you Rev. Hennings for doing the right thing. Your ministry will be missed here in the 'hood.

Is there a resident book we can sign if we lived here. Carollen1945@gmail.com
