The New York Landmarks Conservancy has awarded the Bridge Street African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church a $6,500 grant to replace the roof over its sanctuary.
The funds are part of a total of $294,500 in Sacred Sites Grants presented by the conservancy to 23 historic relgious properties throughout the state.
Peg Breen, the conservancy’s president said, “You don’t have to be religious to understand that religious institutions contain some of our finest art and architecture. Many also provide vital social service programs and cultural activities that make significant contributions to their communities.”
