St. Pete's decaying historic Euclid Methodist Church to reopen as place of worship after denial of event space request
/
Religious sermons and wedding bells may once again echo through the sanctuary of a 100-year-old historic brick church at the edge of St. Petersburg’s Euclid-St. Paul neighborhood.
The 100-year-old Euclid Methodist Church, located at 919 10th Avenue North, has sat vacant for years. Inside, it’s plagued with black mold, collapsed ceilings, and crumbling walls.
Yet despite the daunting repairs ahead, owners Noam and Irene Krasniansky are determined to breathe new life into the deteriorating building, which was added to the St. Petersburg Register of Historic Places in 2004.
The couple purchased the church in 2023 for $1.1 million using profits from the sale of their Los Angeles home. Their original vision was ambitious: transform the church into a 180-person event venue with a seven-unit bed and breakfast called The Treehouse.

Juici Patties, Jamaica's largest patty restaurant chain, is opening its first St. Petersburg location at 3252 Central Avenue.
The restaurant will occupy an endcap space formerly home to Metro by T-Mobile at Central Plaza, a shopping center next to PSTA’s Grand Central bus terminal.
Interior renovations are underway, with an estimated construction cost of $465,000, according to a permit application filed in October.
The restaurant is expected to open in early 2027.
The St. Pete restaurant is part of the brand’s expansion into the Tampa Bay area. The company recently opened a location near University Square Mall in Tampa.
The chain's story began in Jamaica, where founder Jukie Chin started making beef patties in his mother's kitchen and selling them at his parents' grocery store.
