NEW ORLEANS -- A Las Vegas home builder and developer is buying the century-old former Third Presbyterian Church building in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans, believed to be equipped with one of the oldest pipe organs in the city, for a local pastor to bring social and spiritual services to a hard-hit area of the city. Brent Lovett, who is purchasing property in eastern New Orleans to build 16-by-70-foot steel-framed, concrete-floored living units, will create the interdenominational Jubilee Church International at the Third Presbyterian site for the Rev. Gregory Thomas, after spending an estimated $1.5 million on acquisition and repairs, Thomas said. The church, on Esplanade Avenue, was built in 1909. Lovett, an architect, had come up with the idea for modular living units that can be stacked into 12-story towers.
