In 1946 , the City of New York took title to the Washington Street property in connection with the construction of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel . Saint Joseph ’s Church moved to 157 Cedar Street next to the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church . The new location was heavily remodeled including the removal of the top two floors and in use by May 1949 . In 1969 the Saint Joseph ’s Church property was sold to the Archdiocese of New York , but later the property was taken again by eminent domain , in anticipation of the construction of a building at the World Trade Center , which was never actually built . In 1983 , St Joseph ’s moved to Battery Park City at 385 South End Avenue and affiliated with St Peter ’s Church . The Cedar Street location was razed and turned into parking . After the September 11 attacks , in 2002 , the cornerstone was discovered in the World Trade Center rubble . It is currently on display at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Cathedral in Brooklyn
