Suit Against Little Church Over Deed Restriction
St Stephen's Episcopal Church on West 6th Street confronts Justice Trans in the Supreme Court tomorrow to remove a deed clause requiring land use for church purposes. The site, once held by the Transfiguration's Little Church, was sold in 1897 to George W Quintard with the same restriction, then deeded back to the church in 1900. The church faces a $50,000 mortgage to Transfiguration and aims to mortgage $373,400 at 4 percent to pay off the old loan, hoping to erect a large business building if the restriction is removed.
