Religious Buildings

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Ann Arbor, MI, was designed in 1868 by the prominent English Gothic architect Gordon W. Lloyd and completed to his specifications over the next 40 years. In 1950, the rectory was torn down to make way for a new parish hall, which was a stylistic departure. After careful master planning and assessment of its existing buildings, Quinn Evans Architects embarked on a full restoration of St. Andrew’s in 2008, including the first full replacement of its roof, masonry re-pointing, window restoration and a comprehensive restoration of the interior.

Religious Buildings

Completed in 1891, Thomas P. Lonsdale’s Romanesque Revival Baptist Temple is built of rock-faced granite. Its main façade features two copper-covered domes and a semi-rose window in the center. It was recently restored and adapted as a performance arts center by RMJM Hillier and Keast & Hood Co. All photos: Jeffrey Totaro
