  1. Nearly every church in Broadmoor has property they want to tear down or have already torn down. Gloria Dei is no exception. It’s ridiculous. This property is actually in the National Register District.

Heck, it’s large enough to be turned into a police substation, right across from the playspot, near the library and educational corridors, and with a little sense of history. Or first responder housing of the type the neighborhood association always talked about.
