[Tom Kemp]

   *The Episcopal Church has bought a block in downtown Austin where it
plans to build a facility to house its national archives and provide space
for meetings, exhibits, research and other purposes. *

*The church purchased the block, now a parking lot bounded by Seventh,
Eighth, Trinity and Neches streets, from Jimmy Nassour, an Austin real
estate attorney. The purchase price was $9.5 million, said Mark Duffy,
director of the Archives of the Episcopal Church. *

*The entire project is projected to cost over $40 million. **The new church
archives building will allow the church to consolidate it's historical
archives and documents into one location serving the local congregations
across the country. There are 2.2 million Episcopalians in the US. *
