Bosnian Islamic Association Of Utica NY at 306 Court St. Utica, NY - Bosnian-Muslim immigrants in Utica, have converted a former Methodist church dating from the 1880s into a mosque and community center. They purchased the abandoned building from the city in 2008 and have been renovating it since, replacing the roof and covering the brick exterior with stucco. The church’s steeple has been converted into a minaret. There are about 6,000 Bosnians in Utica, mostly Muslims, and the mosque serves about 450 families. Utica has received national attention for welcoming the new mosque. #Bosnia #Downtown_Utica #Mosque #Utica_NY
