Constructed between 1865 and 1870 the church maintains a prominent position on North Broad Street, less than a block north of Philadelphia’s City Hall. The church is registered in the Broad Street National Historic District and Philadelphia’s Registry of Historic Places.
CVM’s lengthy engagement has encompassed the entire property, with the more notable aspect being the 210 foot tall marble clad spire and steeple. Surveys have utilized crane and high reach access, drones (inside and outside the spire), and industrial rope access (during netting installation); Lidar surveys have informed our detailed analysis and development of phased stabilization, repair and rehabilitation.
Following stabilization of the spire, the church successfully fund raised to design and implement a CVM designed repair program.
The project to repair the spire, church slate roof, and isolated masonry and window repairs is underway, with CVM providing construction administration services.
