The Convent Avenue Baptist Church in the Hamilton Heights historic district broke ground on April 1st for a controversial new addition to the landmark neighborhood.

All plans have been approved by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission to proceed but many neighbors wonder if the new addition is really all that contextual.
