Work continues on Avenue B at East 12th Street, where a 7-story mixed used residential building is going up that will house the new home of the Elim Pentecostal Church, among other things.
The construction is now visible above the plywood that lines the site. Perhaps this phase is better for nearby residents, who had to endure months of relentless pile driving and other building-rattling noise.
The address was a movie theater for many years, first the Bijou in 1926, then the Charles. (The theater closed in 1975, and a church took over the space.) A fire broke out in the building in October 2006.
