Completed:
1996
Cost: $205,000
Built in 1890, the roof on the rectory of the landmark church
in Albuquerque's Old Town was in critical need of stabilization
resulting from damage caused by the weight of the two layers of
asphalt shingles installed over rafters originally designed to
support a much lighter tin roof. Kells + Craig worked with the
church's finance and building committees to restore the roof to
its original appearance, including reconstruction of the original
widow's walk and chimneys. The project was honored by the Albuquerque
Conservation Association with the Bainbridge Bunting Award, and
was the recipient of a State of New Mexico Heritage Preservation
Award.
