Historic landmarks eyed for demolition get boost from Hollywood A-listers
Actor Mark Ruffalo is on a mission to preserve the West-Park Presbyterian Church and save its place as a life-support system for the community. The historic West-Park Presbyterian Church, located on Manhattan's Upper West Side, is in need of tens of millions of dollars in repairs. The church, built in 1889, has seen its membership dwindle over the years, and with it the money needed to restore the building.

"It just has this incredible history," Ruffalo told ABC News reporter Ashan Singh for "Nightline." "And you can feel it when you're here.
