St. Nicholas (Croatian) Roman Catholic Church was in danger: PennDOT
was
widening Route 28 on the North Side and the entire area between
31st Street Bridge
and the road to Troy Hill was to be destroyed, including the church.
Preservation Pittsburgh and a group of congregants from the church
called Preserve
Croatian Heritage Foundation successfully lobbied to have the church
designated
historic by the City of Pittsburgh. The future of this lovely edifice,
the
grotto and the grounds, is still unknown. PennDOT recently released
alternatives that will save the church and we applaud their sensitivity
to our urban
sacred landmarks.
