In April 2023, a grant request was made to the SHF, for shared funding for preservation and renovation of the building exterior of our 132-year-old church. The grant was approved in June of 2023.

The scope of work included:

1. Rehabilitation of Tower - masonry stabilization, wood trim and louver repair and painting, the repair and painting of the roof flashing. Cleaning of the bell tower interior and installation of new metal panels.
2. Rehabilitation of Roof Gable Ends - which have suffered from paint loss, weathering, and areas of wood rot.
   Epoxy filler was installed in the rotted areas, trim was replaced, and new paint was applied.
3. Rehabilitation of Exterior Masonry - The masonry on the lower levels of all four facades needed to be repaired and repointed.
4. Rehabilitation of the metal panning at the top of the stone veneer – the sheet metal cap was badly weathered, and the substrate was rotted. New wood framing was installed and caped with a prefinished metal panning.
5. Rehabilitation of the brick masonry chimney – the surface was sandblasted to remove old paint, the brick joints were tuckpointed, and a densifier was sprayed on the brick face.
6. Repairs to the chimney flashing to eliminate water leaks.
7. Cleaning and repainting of the exterior wood shingles and stucco.
