We noticed yesterday that workers removed the scaffolding from outside St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery on Second Avenue at East 10th Street.
Since April, workers have been repairing and restoring the historic church's portico…
According to Rev. Winnie Varghese, the church's rector, this completes the first stage of the project. The portico floor and accessibility project will likely happen next year.
"We're proud of how much got done — much more than we thought we could do when we started this spring," she told us via Facebook."The portico ironwork is completely restored."
Read more about the restoration, including the funding, over at the church's website here.
And as a bonus, here's maybe the oldest-known photo of the church circa 1865…

I do wish they'd fix the clock. It's hard telling time by the bells, especially if you miscount.
Rev Winnie is amazing, they are so lucky she is there now!
Is there a project to permanently remove the crusties?
