Jenifer Briley, the architect behind the massacre of the St Stephen's historic 1912 church building and cloisters on Main Highway, proudly looks on at her handiwork with one of the parishioners.
This morning, tractors were brought in, the church was knocked down and the tractors took off. All within an hour or so.
Jenifer claims the 97 year old trusses holding up the building were not sound. Jeinfer and the people behind this desecration of history are the ones who are not sound.
This is all for the sake of retail. Retail stores will now line Main Highway, retail stores that will pay rent to greedy St. Stephen's. St. Stephen's will pay no taxes on the retail spaces and they can keep all rents paid in full, being a church and all. So all the businesses around these planned retail stores pay taxes, and the church who will own the new stores, will not.
It's all about money. One neighbor on the scene called it "wicked." Wicked it is.
Part of the on-going St. Stephen's saga
