The
archdiocese in Denver is one of the strongest preservation partners
we have in the city. Many of their efforts can serve as case studies
to other historic sacred places and buildings in the city. St. Joseph's
Catholic Church sits in the Lincoln/Alma neighborhood. Built in
1889 it serves a mainly Hispanic congregation. They are currently
going through a restoration program, they had the red paint that
covered the building removed, the masonry restored, the deteriorated
stone elements replaced, and they just replaced their metal front
doors with beautiful hand carved wooden doors. But just recently,
a strong wind blew in one of their stained glass windows. They were
fortunate to have documented their windows prior to the accident
and collected the pieces of the window to match texture. They will
be reconstructing the window and it will hopefully be replaced within
a year.
