Church of St. Lukes and the Epiphany
Philadelphia, PA

The Church of St. Luke and the Epiphany, a historical church, was completed in 1839. It was designed with a heavy timber truss and purlin roof framing system. Work included a temporary hanging of an ornate plaster ceiling; removal of an existing roof system, gutter liners, exhaust fans and hoods. This project also included removal of existing tongue and groove wood decking and heavy timber purlins. Also included in this project was a repair and reinforcement of deficient/failed structural wood trusses and connections. New engineered plate trusses, gutter sections and plywood sheathings were installed. Also a new EPDM roof system with new vents, rain water conductors and other roof associated items were installed. New electrical system upgrades were incorporated in the redesign.
