Structural evaluation and rehabilitation of the 130 year old church
damaged by fire where most of the main roof was destroyed by fire. Pillar
Design Group, Inc. designed the repairs of the structural roof elements for
the various areas of the church. Some of the original roof trusses were
replaced and some remained and were reinforced. Most of the work had to be
performed from above the roof, to protect the remains of the historic
plaster work. A temporary roof was placed to protect the structure during
rain and snow seasons. Pillar Design Group, Inc. also designed the
reinforcement for the underground tunnels which were damaged by water.
