          I was always intrigued with the placement of the New York Public Library next to the Church.  I am sure many always thought it was always part of the Church of the Mediator.  Postcard view from Charles Buck of Kingsbridge cir 1905

                  Love the photos of the little library. My children went to Spuyten Duyvil Infantry, a nursery school that was in the building, founded by Emma Friedman and some other parents before becoming a city-affiliated pre-K.

                    Does anyone know of the current status of the Church? I had read that its congregation was very small and repair costs very big, and there was talk of selling it to a developer. Not a good prospect for the future of such a beautiful building.
