The Villager had a piece last summer on the church having its original 1848 look....<br /><br />--<br /><br />Both the west and north facades (what everyone from the street sees) of the building are going to be sheathed in cast brownstone slabs, more or less restoring the look of what was there when the church was first built in 1848. They are working on this now, and roughly a quarter of the north wall has already been installed. The original north wall had to be completely demolished and rebuilt as part of the process of restoring structural stability to the church. This necessitated filling the entire church interior with scaffolding in order to support the roof during this reconstruction. But it was a big improvement over the original repair plan to simply re-stucco the existing facade.EV Grievehttp://evgrieve.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-10593778328144306962011-11-16T14:02:17.839-05:002011-11-16T14:02:17.839-05:00Just to note: that's not new brick, that's...Just to note: that's not new brick, that's brownstone<br />and I think it might be the original brownstone cladding<br />that had been hidden by the stucco covering.<br />that entire wall was removed and rebuilt with <br />cinder block and reclad with the brownstone.<br />the roof is new copper.Dave on 7thnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-40200665637315461922011-11-16T12:43:31.623-05:002011-11-16T12:43:31.623-05:00Wow!Wow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-19543031957437132492011-11-16T10:33:56.654-05:002011-11-16T10:33:56.654-05:00Wonderful!!!Wonderful!!!Melaniehttp://melaniemusings2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
