St. Paul’s 1885 Building Revitalization Project

An Undercroft Task Force consisting of six members from St. Paul’s was assembled in early 2020 to develop a vision for the revitalization of St. Paul’s 1885 historic building undercroft. These members spent many hours meeting with architects and potential contractors. St. Paul’s property committee chair, Mike Gillespie, spent many hours in 2020 visiting with experts in historic plasterwork to determine how we will proceed with restoring and repairing the sanctuary plasterwork. On this page you can find a descriptions of these processes and who to contact if you want to learn more about this project.

Note: Finished work may be different from initial architects’ renderings.
