A Buddhist Temple in Dormont

As recently as last summer, this rather nondescript place was known as the Dormont United Methodist Church.  But traditional churches in Dormont have been dropping fast.  The Presbyterian church recently merged with another congregation in Greentree and sold their lovely building to some band of fundamentalist pew-jumpers.  The Baptist church went belly-up about two years ago and is currently for sale; it looks like a pretty cool structure, too.  A Lutheran church remains, but who knows for how long?  And now this ugly old place seems to be getting refitted as a Buddhist temple.  The statues out front are enormous.
