There's a red house over yonder...

The latest development on this site was that NYU had gone ahead with the demolition of the church without ever thinking or trying to follow landmark preservation law, based on the "Federal 106" statute. Sounds very hypocritical of them, after fighting over the facade on Washington Square where Edgar Allen Poe once lived and wrote (the red house I think, to be incorporated into a larger building, NYU has been sucking up all sorts of properties, former Palladium on 14th Street, 12th St. church, etc.) as the student clientele, once a majority of New Yorkers is now a majority of out-of-staters.
