Morton Street Mews Site Active
Activity at the Morton Street Mews site.
If you’ve happened to walk past the corner of Sherman Avenue and Morton Street lately, you’ll have noticed that the former church parking lot is now an active construction site. A backhoe loader is now on site and excavating the area along Sherman Avenue, apparently for the start of OPaL’s Morton Street Mews housing project on the site.
When finished, the redevelopment of the former Iglesia Ni Christo Church and the adjacent parking lot will contain about 25 units of three-story townhouse style 2 and 3-level condominiums.The 1905 church building — originally designed by William Sidney Pittman (1875-1958) for Trinity A.M.E. Zion Church — will be somewhat restored and incorporated within the project. More details about the project can be found at OPaL’s Web site.

In the excavation you can see the brick frames where the former structures of row homes used to exist along Sherman
They must have been razed and paved over for the church parking lot at some point, and now they are going to be new row homes almost mimicking the footprint many decades later.
