The Church of St. Michael the Archangel

The restoration of this landmark church, constructed in 1861, was completed in multiple phases. A new core and shell with a 745-square-foot addition were completed in the first phase. The old roof structure was replaced with new heavy timber trusses, visible and consistent with the architecture of St. Michael’s. The dirt basement floor beneath the nave and transept was replaced with reinforced concrete to accommodate a community room, mechanical area, and storage area. Phase Two work included sitework, underground utilities, building MEP infrastructure, drywall, and painting.

Prior to demolition, siding was removed to reveal unique architectural elements of the original church. Many of these artifacts will be restored and reinstalled, such as the stained glass windows dating back to the 1800’s and Stations of the Cross, as well as refurbished pews and light fixtures.
