Taking cues from the adjacent church building–which is individually listed in the National Historic Register–the new building’s design strives to provide a simple balance between the old and the new.
Brick detailing, stained wood, and large scale windows provide a striking but subtle design that complements the historic structure while still providing an innovative architectural approach.
