Historic St. Joseph Church Construction Renovations

Our commercial construction team has completed many renovation projects for historic buildings and places, such as historic St. Joseph Church.

Historic St. Joseph Church Construction Renovations

Estimated Read Time: 1 Minutes

Miller Diversified Construction recently completed commercial construction renovations on a historic downtown Toledo church. St. Joseph Parish started out as a small brick church building that was shared with another church group in 1854. In 1870, the Parish purchased some land on Erie Street, and a building was finished by 1878. Later, a second building to be used as a school was erected. Over the years, the buildings underwent many changes, including additions, renovations, and repairs after a fire in 1920. Prior to the recent renovations by Miller Diversified, the last major renovations were done in 1957. These construction renovations have helped preserve the history and beauty of the buildings.

TIMELESS TREASURES STILL REMAIN

At present, the two buildings remain and are full of history:

  • The main church building still houses the 1957 oak pews for the nave and the choir. The present seating capacity in the nave of the Church is 322, a number maintained through thoughtful construction renovations.
  • It also contains a Schantz Pipe organ that was installed in the Church in 1954.
  • Many original statues remain as well. The statue of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sacred Heart of Jesus, and Saint John the Evangelist are dated 1878.
  • The annex building, known as the “Sacred Heart”, is connected to the main church building by an overhead breezeway, which was part of past construction renovations.
  • In the bell tower hang 11 bells dating back to 1881.

Our team can take on an array of different types of projects. It’s always a fun challenge to work on projects that have such a rich history. Contact our construction team and let us know how we can help you with your next project!
