Before & After: St. Columban Church in Chillicothe, Missouri
. . .built in 1879, St. Columban’s gothic architecture features pointed arches & high, vaulted ceilings which lead the eyes upward to heaven. The existing decorative scheme was drab & dated, with severely deteriorated paint & plaster throughout the church. 4 original murals, depicted in the historic photo, had been removed, & the murals which still existed presented with a deeply, yellowed varnish coating & poor previous restoration attempts. . .
