, The eye-catching temple and attached bookstore at the corner of Bushwick Avenue and Hart Street continues to function as a community centre, gathering space and place of worship for the Nuwaubian Nation, who also call themselves Sabaeans.
“We got an offer for US$6 million ($9.14m)” for one of the buildings, a man who returned phone calls from the number listed on newly-planted “For Sale By Owner” signs at the property on an otherwise quiet residential block in Bushwick.
“But we’re selling [the properties] as a bundle, we’re asking $5 to 6 million for both.”
The man, identified as Thomas Smith, said he was acting as a middleman between potential buyers and the Nuwaubian Nation, which has called the mysterious complex home for more than 40 years.
