Saint Joseph's Church (Albany, New York)
The church, in deep financial straits, was sold to Marine Colonel Bronislaus A. Gill in 1981 for $29,000. In 1992 St. Joseph's was forced into an agreement with four other churches, St. Patrick's, Sacred Heart, St. Casimir's, and St. George's, to share three priests among them. Soon after, in 1994 the church was closed and the parish merged with that of Sacred Heart, 13 blocks away in the North Albany neighborhood. By then the church needed up to $2 million worth of repairs, including cracked stained-glass windows, a leaking roof, foundation work, and a rusted and collapsed iron fence. The Albany Diocese bought the church back from Colonel Gill in 1996 for $30,000. The church then organized a committee composed of representatives from the church, the Ten Broeck Triangle Preservation League, Historic Albany Foundation, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Mayor Jerry Jennings, Albany County Executive Michael Breslin, and NYS Assemblyman John McEneny to figure out new uses for the church.
