The project began by B&Z Electric removing the six art-glass under-balcony light fixtures on the south side, and the large narthex fixture consisting of an eight-foot long decorative metal bar from which are suspended seven Arts and Crafts styled metal lanterns. These fixtures were taken to the Archistoric Studio for cleaning, repair and rewiring. The old 1901 cloth covered wiring connecting to the fixtures was pulled out and new wiring was installed. With the large narthex fixture out of the way, painting of the narthex ceiling, walls and decorative plaster ribbing could begin. Painters from National Decorating Service worked over a period of two weeks to clean and restore the narthex to the original colors. Take a look when you next visit the church. The fixtures and the narthex walls shine as they did in 1901. Next up will be the painting of the Narthex tile floor.
