A nationally recognized historic place, the 166-year-old First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte embarked on a renovation project aimed at preserving the history and integrity of the church while making improvements to meet its changing needs.
Completed in August 2022, the one-year project centered on extensive interior renovations to the existing chancel, choir loft, organ loft, sanctuary and library. Work included dismantling, restoring, refinishing, reconfiguring and re-installing the existing chancel and choir loft. The redesign renovated and improved an existing pulpit, marble floors, white oak millwork and restored bronze railings. These modifications improved structural elements, restored floor finishes and restored wood wall paneling.
