| Preserving and restoring the interior of
a church that dates back to 1927 was a monumental opportunity.
At Cathedral of Christ the King, custom ornamental casework
in the sanctuary required unusually detailed millwork.
We
incorporated unique cutout symbol carvings from the pews
into the panels we created for the choral risers, and we
used multiple layers of built-up millwork on the doors. The
beautiful red oak we chose perfectly captured the heritage
and old-world feel of the church.
Because the church was
an historic building, there were rules and regulations about
what we could and couldn’t do to maintain the original
integrity of the church. All of the trades involved in this
project had specialty craftsmen and craftswomen on hand. There
was also a liturgical consultant and an artist known for restoring
historical buildings.
Together, we preserved the Cathedral
of Christ the King for generations to come.
