"The fire destroyed the church, except for the tower and walls in October 1974, forcing the parish to abandon the ruin. The Landmark Society of Western New York, the State University College at Brockport, city officials, members of the Downtown Development Corporation, and the original Roman Catholic religious order all supported preserving the bell tower and three extant bays (front facade) as a monument encased in a park, named St. Joseph’s Park. The conversion was carried out by Landmark Society of Western New York in 1980." (visit link)
