Peter Sefton sent this latest view of the Halfmoon church. Looks like they have a fence around it ready for demolition. I received an email today from the New York Landmark Conservancy regarding yesterday's column. They tell me they have given a couple of grants to Mrs. Schaaf in 1999 and in May this year were ready to pledge another 5K but needed assurance the rest could be raised. They also were contacted by Woodside in 2001 before the wall collapsed but they never got back to the Conservancy. Interesting though, the Conservancy has given some 45 grants locally.
