An initial facility review was completed in 1993 to
identify appropriate restoration methods for the 1889 church
structure that would meet the guidelines of the National
Register for Historic Places. Extensive deterioration of brick,
stone and copper building elements had begun to affect the
structural integrity of the steeple structure. The restoration
work was completed in three phases based on the financial
resources of the congregation.
1995 - Phase
I – Steeple and Main Entrance Elevation Brick and stone
restoration – Wood steeple frame restoration – Roof decking and
slate shingle installation – Restoration and replacement of
ornamental copper fabrications – Interior steeple platform
restoration and ladder access.
1998 - Phase
II – Lower Slate Shingle Replacement New slate shingle
installation on main body of church building – Installation of
copper flashings and gutter systems.
2001 - Phase
III – Masonry Restoration and Exterior Window Frame Restoration
– Brick and stone restoration and replacement on main body of
church – Repair and repainting of the exterior wood window
frames – Installation of new storm plating over all stained
glass windows. |
