Demolition starts this week as Henry and his crew work to remove all of the loose plaster from our ceiling. The wood lath will remain. Any loose wood lath will be re-secured with crews to provide a solid foundation for our new ceiling. It has been determined that the plaster ceiling is original to the time that the church was built in 1874, and contains real horse hair. Horse hair was used to fortify the plaster and help to keep it from cracking. In this picture, we see the one section in the whole project where all of the plaster has been removed. This section is situated in the front of the sanctuary directly in front of the Pulpit.
