Behold the inside of St. Brigid's
We continue to watch the renovations at St. Brigid's on Avenue B at East Eighth Street... while we have a good idea of how the exterior of the historic church that was left for dead is shaping up, we haven't seen the inside in some time...

Nice!
Has there been any word on when the outside tarps come down?
@anon
Haven't heard any definite timelines just yet. Looking forward to seeing the refurbished front too.
Wow! So beautiful. Wonderful photos, Bobby!!
It looks stunning, wonderful photos by Bobby, as always!
anyone ever find out who donated the money to fix this place up?
Beautiful inside view.
Brings a tear to my eye.
Hope they turn it into a shopping mall like they did the Limelight! Cause you know, we need more places to shop......
Beautiful!
tremendous.
this is an attribute to everyone who refused to let this sensational building be destroyed It's a means for artisans to present the ability to reclaim, which I suggest is far
more important than
replacing the building we an architectural foible.
I hope that St Bridgids is always cherished
if only becuase the communicty fought gentrification and she
is the glorious result.
I wonder who the congregation will be????And will Timothy Cardinal Dolan be invloved in the reopening of the wonderous church?
Shame that a similar savior was not found for St. Anne's before it became a Lego-land eyesore
Wow. The Neo-Gothic ceiling and Gothic nave is very similar to the Angel Orensanz Center on Norfolk Street (1849). That building was built originally as a synagogue by German Jews who brought in an architect from Berlin, Alexander Saeltzer who also built the Astor Library that eventually became the Public Theater on Lafayette Street.
Stunning -- almost makes me want to re-consider that whole church thing. Almost.
Nice photos, Bobby!
Wow, just ravishing. Lovely pix.
Yenta Laureate, thank you for the info -- do we know who designed St Bridget's originally?
Great photos Bobby.
