Construction of South Church in Middletown CT was completed in 1870. My parents were members, my dad also did handyman work around the church. While visiting with church members after attending a service a while back, they learned I am a woodworker like my dad, and I went home that Sunday with a broken chair from the community room.
Months later I was contracted to rebuild the church’s street sign. The wood frame was punky and rotten, so much so that that copper cladding was falling off.
