Since the time of its construction in the early 1900s, Mount Morris Ascension Presbyterian Church has served the Harlem community. In recent years, the congregation has worked to renovate the interior of their parish house as the future home of their Head Start Program. Before those repairs could be completed, it was necessary to complete work on the building’s exterior, including its windows and brickwork. The exterior work ensured that no water would get into the building. The Trust for Architectural Easements provided $50,000 to ensure that the necessary emergency work to re-point the building’s brickwork and window repairs could be completed. With the completion of this exterior work, the interior renovations could be completed allowing the Head Start Program to begin.
