During the 1960's, Martin Luther King Jr. used the church as a meeting place for his civil rights group. The QoA congregation left the building as mounting maintenance costs proved prohibitive. Despite being listed on the local and National Register of Historic Places, the archdiocese applied for a demolition permit. A clerical oversight led to the permit being approved, and a hasty demolition beginning. It was halted once the historic nature of the building came to light, but so much damage was already done it was completely razed in 2016.  Media Coverage After initial demolition began: http://www.nj.com/..._say_good_bye.html Article about the oversight at the permit office. http://www.nj.com/...ains_in_limbo.html Article about the city agreeing that the historic building was already too far damaged, and must be demolished. http://www.nj.com/..._african-amer.html  Future Plans In this neighborhood? It will either stay a dirt lot of become section 8 housing.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries My second trip Sun, May 15th, 2016 posted by EsseXploreR 9 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://tfpnj.blogs...angels-church.html  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
