Sacred Heart Church: one of NJ’s 10 Most Endangered Historic Sites

Sacred Heart Church in Greenville Area makes the list of NJ’s 10 most endangered historic sites, according to nj.com yesterday.

…In its heyday, the church had a congregation of 4,000 but closed in 2005 due to dwindling membership, Emrich said. (Ron Emrich is the director of the Preservation New Jersey)

“Now deteriorating, the structure is a potential target for vandals,” Emrich said. “It epitomizes the plight of urban places of worship whose congregations have dwindled.”

NJ.com also has a video documentation of the church architecture. Each video is approximately one-minute long. Below is a youtube video of its columns and arches.

I have listed down the rest of the videos, in case you’d like to watch more. Clicking on the links will open another window or tab and will link out to youtube:
