residential conversions of churches in the area include the South Congregational Church on Court Street, the former Catholic church on Hicks (now the Arches), the little Baptist church on DeGraw (turmed into a 2-family), and the Strong Place Church.
In Brooklyn Heights there is the former Spencer Memorial church on Clinton and Remsen. There is a little Greek revival church on the grounds of Brooklyn Tech College that is now a student center.
Church attendance by the faithful is way down in the boro. I think there will be even more empty church buildings in the future.

This is one of four churches that I know of in the immediate vicinity that have been converted to residential use. The alternative would have been to tear them down and build new housing, but their landmark status prevented that so the housing was put in the existing shell. I have no problem with that. This particular building was designed by my namesake, Minard Lafever, in 1851. Evidently it was one of his favorites as it resembles most closely of any of his churches the style of an English parish church.
it’s about time. i feel like this project has been going on for at least five years.
Demo and construction took five years. So you are correct! Believe me, I lived through it.
