41 Spruce Street
April 25, 2016
  • This building is at high risk of demolition because of the fire on April 24, 2016

Action Talking Points

  • This is a classic example of demolition by neglect. Demolition of this structure would be a reward for the owner's ongoing neglect of this property, no matter who pays for it.
  • A number of people have expressed interest in buying the church but have been rebuffed by the owner.
  • This church is seven blocks from downtown Buffalo's Lafayette Square. This part of the East Side is ripe for redevelopment.
  • Saving existing old structures like this one is the most valuable type of redevelopment, with the greatest returns to the community - financially, socially, culturally and esthetically.
