latest images from ongoing photographic documentation of pilgrim baptist church reconstruction by central

the following images were taken a few day ago as i continue documenting central building and preservation’s efforts to stabalize, restore and/or rebuild the oversized segmented bedford limestone window arches along the north wall of adler and sullivan’s kehilath anshe ma’ariv synagogue or pilgrim baptist church (1890) that was gutted by a horrific fire in 2006, leaving it a shell of its former self.
pallets containing newly quarried, machine cut or hand-chiseled bedford limestone segments are on the site awaiting installation.
