St. John the Apostle Church
St. Louis MO Map
Erected circa 1857, the towers on the St. John the Apostle Church had badly deteriorated with abundant settlement cracks and open joints. Leonard Masonry temporarily removed each tower roof via crane, demolished the existing brick and installed new brick with a reinforced CMU backup. Steel lintels, plates and rebar provided structural support to the masonry, while a combination of solid-grouted and cavity walls control storm water penetration.
Due to the church’s city landmark status, the new construction had to match the existing in all respects, including exterior dimension, proportion, detail and color. The architect and Leonard Masonry collaborated through meticulous material selection and installation to achieve a seamless transition from new to old.
