Reasons for stripping Brickell church land from historic protection are ludicrous | Letters
Historic church In the Nov. 7 article, “ Luxury condos get all-clear for historic church site in Brickell. What’s next? ” Miami Herald reporter Isabel Rivera wrote, “At the Nov. 3 hearing, 13th Floor and the church argued that because the school’s annex and parking lot were added after 1950 — dubbed the ‘period of significance’ — it couldn’t share in the sanctuary’s landmark status. The church building was completed in 1949.” The developers’ statement is so ludicrous. It is like saying Antonio Gaudi’s monumental Sagrada Familia in Barcelona does not fit the “period of significance” because it took 100 years to finish Gaudi’s original drawings. Two experts, a highly credentialed local historian and a nationally recognized architect and preservationist, unequivocally showed that the church’s original plans, designed by renowned architect Lester Geisler, included the sanctuary, the school, the Celtic cross perched on its steeple and the land to the water. Yet, the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board decided to ignore the historical facts. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 and designated a local landmark in 2003. Notably, under these two distinct designations, the three-acre site is included as a whole (not parceled

Brickell church land is set to become a high-rise. Goodbye to another open space | Opinion
Brickell residents are losing their battle to stop church land along Biscayne Bay from becoming a 75-story high-rise. Yes, they chose to live in Miami’s busiest corridor, where condo and business towers have created the city’s modern signature skyline. But the push for development over preservation risks hurting what makes Miami so attractive to so many people. The 619 Brickell By Nobu, a luxury condo building, is slated to rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave., now that one of the last hurdles to the project has been lifted. The city’s historic preservation board voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 to lift a historic designation from the church’s annexed school and parking lot, where the tower will be built. The board also voted to shrink the site’s historic boundary to just the church and a 15-foot buffer, the Herald reported. The area overlooking the bay behind the church has been used over the years by residents and food trucks. It has also been a welcome bit of open space along the waterfront. The $240 million sale of the land to developers would certainly help a church that has had money issues, but it has rocked First Miami’s congregation
