Trinity Lutheran Church Losing Its Windows
Trinity Lutheran Church on 100th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues is losing its windows during Gluck and Chetrit's construction on Amsterdam Avenues: they would be shattered by the vibration.

The church must remove its beautiful stained glass windows during Gluck and Chetrit's construction along Amsterdam Avenue: the vibrations would shatter them. That will leave the church in the dark, as well as burdening it with enormous financial costs -- for removing, storing and hopefully re-installing the windows, as well as for putting scaffolding around the heavy church spire.
The church, over 100 years old, was the only part of the old neighborhood left standing when Robert Moses took the rest under eminent domain to construct the Frederick Douglass Houses and Park West Village.
