A local developer may convert the historic 98-year-old Westminster Presbyterian Church in St. Pete's Old Northeast neighborhood into residences.

Pinellas Park-based Belleair Development Group, which has delivered multiple commercial retail and residential projects throughout St. Petersburg, is proposing to convert the former old school and church at 126 11th Avenue Northeast into one single-family home and two townhomes.

The Westminster Presbyterian Church, designed in 1926 by well-known architect Archie Parrish, and has sat dormant for over a decade and is listed as a local historic landmark in the St. Petersburg Register of Historic Places.
