Old St. Joseph's Church

The work consisted of installing two new steel box trusses to relieve the weight on five existing wood roof trusses. Also included, was a new HVAC system, extensive plaster repair, painting and carpeting.

Founded in 1733, it should be noted that this structure is the oldest Catholic Church in the city of Philadelphia, and the goal of the project was to perform all the work without altering the appearance of the existing church.
