Episcopal Diocese seeks demolition of Euclid Avenue church, after Cleveland Clinic emerges as land buyer

From Ohio-

Another historic Euclid Avenue church is facing demolition, now that a marketing effort by the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio appears to have netted a big buyer: the Cleveland Clinic.

The diocese recently applied for a demolition permit for the Church of the Transfiguration, a shuttered Gothic Revival building that occupies 0.83 acres on the northwest side of the Clinic's main campus. The Cleveland Landmarks Commission, which exerts some control over significant buildings and historic districts in the city, expects to consider the demolition request at its Thursday meeting.

David Hollister, a real estate broker representing the diocese, identified the Clinic as the buyer but would not disclose the purchase price. A Clinic spokeswoman said nothing has been finalized.
