Preserving Our Historic Church

In 2006, our church qualified for The Steeples Project grant offered by Historic Boston Incorporated. With their help, we identified the steps needed to preserve our historic building. The grant allowed us to address urgent repairs. In addition to the grant, Historic Boston Incorporated has blessed our church with valuable guidance and encouragement while we preserve our church for our future generations.

The Architects and Preservation Planners at McGinley, Kalsow and Associates LLP presented a comprehensive assessment April, 2008. This report is the basis for our prioritization and includes findings from the Boston Historic Preservation Society and the structural engineers at MacLeod Consulting, Inc.

Phase 1 completed (2006): Comprehensive building assessment; Structural engineer report; Contractor selection

Phase 2 completed (2008): Repaired tower; Re-pointed belfry; Eliminated tower leaks

Phase 3 completed (2009): Rebuilt trusses in Memorial Hall roof; Installed insulation, green ceiling and new lighting

Phase 4 & 5 completed (2010): Repointed masonry; Installed copper flashing; Installed custom copper gutters, downspouts, snow guards; Repaired slate roof
