Chapel renovation

Our original church is over 150 years old. It's construction began before the Civil War. We say it is antebellum. It was in a state of disrepair. Stucco was crumbling, the roof leaked, and so much more. We have been worshiping in our new sanctuary since about 2001, maybe? Here is how the Chapel looked today at the open house...
Fresh paint, new pews, new roof, weatherized structure.

Windows cleaned and reworked and bringing in some heavenly light.

Vestibule created. Lift was added for handicapped accessibility. Choir loft will not be utilized except by the organist. 

Altar rail was retrofitted. Follows original curve, instead of the straight line that I have always known in this church. 

Fresh paint on ceiling. 

Fresh looking altar.
