St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Exterior Masonry & Bronze Conservation

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, designed by Betram Goodhue and completed in 1928, stands at the highest point in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Designed in the Neo-Gothic style, the stone masonry edifice boasts slate roofs and a massive bell tower at the intersection of the cruciform building plan. The rustic granite blocks are accented with carved sandstone trim and tracery enclosing stained glass windows. Ornate bronze lantern light fixtures illuminate arched doorways.

In 2018, EverGreene’s conservators conducted a condition assessment of the exterior stone masonry which included material testing and resulted in treatment recommendations for cleaning and restoration. Additional analysis of mortar samples occurred in our laboratories following the on-site work.

During the restoration in 2019-2020, EverGreene provided on-site quality control for the masonry restoration, and restored the historic bronze lanterns in our Maryland studio.
