This past Friday, AM-NY's cover story was about 10 historic New York buildings that are now eyesores. Only one in Queens is mentioned, although we know there are plenty more candidates. St. Monica's and the Richmond Hill Republican Club come to mind immediately.

The landmarks law is an eyesore that should be cleared off the books.
St. Monica's is not an eyesore anymore. With support from Greater Jamaica Development Corp., York College has kept the facade of the old church and turned it into a day care center for students who have children:

I think it just officially opened.
I would say the facade of a beautiful old church building pasted onto the front of a crappy new out-of-character building still qualifies it as an eyesore.

...like the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria....
Better to half a half-saved church than one completely demolished.

makes as much sense as saying
"Better to be half free than enslaved."
Brother, you are either all free or a slave.
The Full Gospel Half Saved Church.
Only in America, folks, only in America....
Sounds like a place for Rev Billy...
It's only one wall that was saved! What about the beautiful stained glass windows? Destroyed!
