The building has had a full history of renovations, beginning with a complete dismantling and rebuilding just nine years following construction due to structural problems, a complete interior remodeling in 1923, and the addition of a crematory annex in 1970. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <br /> In 2004 McGinley Kalsow &amp; Associates wrote an existing conditions report on the exterior condition of the chapel. The report identified structural problems at some of the flamboyant Gothic pinnacles, as well as roofing slate and flashings that had reached the end of useful life. A restoration project was undertaken which involved dismantling and rebuilding some of the granite pinnacles, replacement of slate roofs and copper flashings, repointing of the granite masonry, and repair and painting of stained glass and wood windows. &nbsp; </p> <br /> </td> <td rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" class="Headline_bold"><table width="111" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><a href="sandwich.html"><img src="images/previous_bttn.gif" alt="previous" name="previous" width="66" height="31" border="0" id="previous" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('previous','','images/previous_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> <td><a href="emmanuel.html"><img src="images/next_bttn.gif" alt="next" name="next" width="45" height="31" border="0" id="next" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('next','','images/next_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <table width="762" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" bordercolor="E0E0E0" background="../images/footer_bckgrd.gif" bgcolor="E0E0E0"> <tr> <td height="23"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="../images/15x15spacer.gif" width="18" height="15" /></td> <td align="left"><img src="../images/phone_address.gif" width="385" height="19" /></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td width="67" align="right"><a href="../contact.html"><img src="../images/contactUs_bttn.gif" alt="Contact Us" name="contactUs" width="67" height="19" border="0" id="contactUs" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('contactUs','','../images/contactUs_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> <td width="73" align="left"><a href="#"><img src="../images/site_credits_bttn.gif" alt="Site Credits" name="credits" width="73" height="19" border="0" id="credits" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.torque9.com','Torque9','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('credits','','../images/site_credits_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> <td width="8"><img src="../images/15x15spacer.gif" width="8" height="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <table width="762" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><div align="right" class="copyright">Copyright &copy; 2006 McGinley Kalsow &amp; Associates Inc.
