Here we see St. Henry's Church as it appeared during the restoration. Daily and Sunday Masses continued inside the Church as specified in the restoration contract, but the church bells remained silent.
Rental of the scaffolding was one of our larger expenses. Initial estimates projected a scaffolding cost of some $50,000. However, we were able to reduce the cost by timing the erection and disassembly of the scaffolding. Below right is a southeast view of the Church as the scaffolding was being erected. The entire Church exterior became enveloped by the scaffolding for three months. |
