Caldwell Presbyterian Church, a historic landmark in Charlotte, was built in 1912 but serves a modern mission: serving the diverse, ever-growing community that surrounds it. The church wanted a space dedicated to serving their underserved neighbors, designating the Hearth project as a place where those in need can get a meal, take a shower, and find comfort, whether or not they are a member of the church. The Hearth Community Hall offers gathering spaces for the congregation and a helping hand to all.
Clancy & Theys provided construction management services for the new construction of the 12,000 square foot community hall addition to this historic Charlotte church. Meeting rooms and outdoor courtyard spaces allow church members to grow together in their faith. A large multipurpose room hosts events open to the public. The kitchen and showers allow local folks from all walks of life get clean and have a hot meal. The project included a partial renovation of existing space to tie in the new construction to the existing building.
In 2019, Clancy & Theys had the privilege of completing renovations to the church’s 110-year-old sanctuary. Restorations were completed to both the interior and exterior of the building. All stained glass windows were repaired in place. All of the plaster was repaired and painted, as well. Outside, tuck pointing was performed to all stone and brick, and the entire façade was sealed. The shingle roof and lintels were replaced.
