The hollyhocks on the former St Emeric property

A reader shared this photo from 12th Street near Avenue D... at the site of the former St. Emeric church and school. 

Said the reader of these hollyhocks: "In case anyone needs a spot of beauty." 

Meanwhile, it has been a year since Spatial Equity and Community Access, a nonprofit developer, reportedly signed a deal with the Archdiocese of New York to pay between $58 million and $68 million to build a 570-unit multifamily property featuring all affordable housing at 181 Avenue D. 

We haven't heard anything else about this. DOB permits from March show a pending demoliton for "a two-story commercial building." (Not sure what this refers to on the lot — the school?)

And does anyone know if someone is maintaining those greenhouses on the property?
