Reply to comment by ChaosAndMath in St. Joseph's Church in Bloomfield could close in the near future by Elouiseotter

Curious why you think the Mac is worth more? The lot sizes are comparable, but St Joe's is on the main drag. I think for most uses, both sites would need to be demolished. St Joe's could maybe saved with the right buyer (ala Churchberw).

I thought the lot would be bigger for the MAC since it includes the school, the rectory, and the parking lot, but St. Joseph sold the parking lot behind it years ago and is just the church itself.

There was an interesting presentation (virtual) by Preservation Pennsylvania about the MAC's architecture last weekend. Hope they can reuse the building (fix the roof, etc.) no matter the fate of it.
