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.
