During the recent approval process for historic preservation status for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, City Councilwoman Linda Saul-Sena said what she likes best is that the 1904-built church “has changed very little.”
The church’s surroundings, however, will undergo major changes this year.
With $2.5 million raised, the project will see the bulldozing of a two-story building and construction of a children’s chapel in the northeast corner of the church complex, which occupies a city block between Twiggs and Madison streets.
Before the work begins, the Rev. John Reese was compelled to move forward with seeking the local landmark designation. It was a decision years in the making.
