ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Breathing new life into an aged and tired warehouse built in the early twentieth century is a rewarding aspect of adaptive re-use. This building provides a dynamic and interesting facility for a church...including space for worship, fellowship, christian education, administration, and a community room. Preservation of the historical character occurred wherever it was possible.
