This 175-year-old church required a unique combination of expertise to preserve and restore intricate historic elements while incorporating new building infrastructure technology. All stone columns, walls and window traceries were restored and cleaned, while large ductwork, electrical and other services were concealed within pathways located behind plaster walls, below grade and through vaulted arches. The process of extending the life of the original plaster ceiling included cleaning the top side of all insulation, debris and dust, then removing plaster keys at strategic locations. The team applied a consolidant that was absorbed by the plaster, reinforcing the material for years to come. Strategic teaming with multiple stained glass studios enabled the project team to cost effectively handle the piece-by-piece restoration and replication of the historic church’s exquisite windows. To bring it up to date with current accessibility standards, the exterior paving was redesigned and reconfigured to include ramps for wheelchair accessibility throughout the perimeter of the church. Inside, a concealed wheelchair lift was added to provide accessibility to the chancel.
