Harlem Bespoke: We received a couple of messages from alarmed neighbors by historic Calvary Church on Edgecombe and West 140th Street this past week because a sidewalk shed had been placed around the site. The beloved building was supposed to be part of the new Dorrance Brooks Historic District which was officially designated this month but did the church not get including for some reason? There is an alarming wall of work city paperwork on the lower level which includes one demolition permit assigned in April and will expire at the end of August. On the the other hand, the sidewalk shed has signage for a contractor being used and not a demolition company which is an entirely different kettle of fish. Does anyone have an update to share with all the readers out their?
