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

Who do you expect will buy the building, and have the million dollars in capital for it's repairs? New restaurants don't tend to have that kind of money to spare after their other startup costs.

It'd be one thing if the building was in good condition and closed due to lack of attendance alone, but being realistic here, it's going to sit vacant until a developer buys it to tear it down.

Have you looked up all the churches that have been repurposed in the Pittsburgh area? Church Brew Works, This is Red, The Dragon’s Den, Mary’s Vine and Matthew’s Lofts are all churches that have been transformed into business or living spaces. I highly doubt all of those buildings were sold in pristine condition without renovations.
