New lives for old churches
This Atlantic article takes on a question that frequently pops up around the Capital Region: What to do with old, vacant church buildings? (It even briefly mentions Troy.) An interesting bit: There's now a foundation that's been working with churches to find new uses before they become vacant, converting space for co-working, community kitchens, and workshops.

Oh what I wouldn't give to take over a church or synagogue building (or firehouse!) such grand spaces. equally nice are the associated Pastor's residence/rectory/convent etc.
There is an old Synagogue (now being used as a church) in the Pastures, and another that was at first converted to a bank and is now an architect's office at 252 Washington
