Welcome to your #worldheritagecity. Down comes Christian Street Baptist Church courtesy of @ocfrealty. 1020 Christian Street was built in 1890 for the congregation of the Protestant Episcopal Italian Mission & Church of L’Emmanuello. It is/was an Italian Market landmark and a reminder of the wave of Italian immigration in South Philadelphia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After being placed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places for legal protection last November, the decision was overturned by the City citing an alleged misreading of procedures by the Historical Commission. Despite public demonstrations, pleas to @phillymayor to intervene, and an offer to buy/reuse the church, owner Ori Feibush is demolishing the building for an empty lot. 📸: @mmbixler #historicpreservation #thisplacematters #religiousarchitecture #demolitionphilly #feibushed
