Jim Stettner on September 25th, 2023:

According to the website 'Untapped Cities; New York', *"The First Church of Christ Scientist sold the building at 361 Central Park West in 2004 for $14 million (listed originally at $24 million)."

"The Crenshaw Christian Center East, a nondenominational church from Los Angeles, purchased the building in 2004 and held it services there for the next decade."

"By 2014, the building was up for sale again and a developer purchased the building for $26 million with the intention to convert it into condominiums. Though the intention was to respect the architecture of the original building, the project failed, but not before marble details and the benches in the auditorium was removed and sold."

"The church was purchased at the end of 2017 by the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, currently located at 212 West 83rd Street, with the intention to convert the church into the museum’s new home by 2021."

Updated through online information from David H. Fox. -- The New York Times website reported on 9-26-14 that the building had been sold to a developer who intends to subdivide the structure into apartments. The original congregation sold the building to an evangelical group in 2003. The exterior is protected by the New York City Landmark Preservation Laws, but not the interior. No definite plans have been announced.
