More of the fire-damaged Middle Collegiate Church comes into view

Workers continue to haul out the remains of 48 E Seventh St. at Second Avenue... which is providing for a better view of the fire-damaged Middle Collegiate Church structure... these photos are from around 3:45 today... (hopefully we'll get some much better shots tonight when the corner is flooded with the spotlights) ...
Hope remains that the remaining structure is stable, and can remain in place ahead of a rebuild... there hasn't been any official word about this to date...
The 128-year-old church was all but destoryed during the early-morning, six-alarm fire on Saturday.

      ACRIS indicates, ironically, 48 E 7 is owned by “futurist” Faith Popcorn via entity Fame Partners...named after FAith and her sister MEchele.
