Subdude Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 The congregation of Heights Church of Christ is embarking on an ambitious plan to restore its historic sanctuary at 1548 Heights Boulevard. The building, a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, was constructed in 1925 from a design by Alfred C. Finn, architect of the San Jacinto Monument. Estimated cost of the restoration is $325,000.In recent years, church membership has dropped to between 20 and 30 active members. The congregation hopes by restoring its landmark building it can revive interest in the church and increase membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeightsGuy Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 $325,000 doesn't sound like much for restoration work on a historic structure, is it more of a "spruce up"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatline Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I have a good friend that goes to that church. As Subdue noted, it's a pretty tiny congregation, so it's tough for them to come up with a large amount of cash. The building needs a lot more than $325,000 worth of work. But it will allow them to put a new roof on the building, which in turn will stem a lot of the water damage problems they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
