Corbin Building

I have a piece in today's Times about the current owners of the Corbin Building -- the Collegiate Church -- who want to turn this historic Lower Manhattan building into the New Amsterdam Center. But it's being taken by eminent domain for the new Fulton Transit Center. Not much to add to the piece, really, so click here to read it in full, and find out how those mild-mannered, tolerant Protestants of Dutch heritage are going to take it to MTA!
