You can click on any of these pictures and see an enlarged version.Standing at the entrance of the coat room and looking into the little kitchen. The wall came down this week, and barely visible through the plastic barrier is the front of the stove and the existing door into the East Assembly Room. There will be a wall built at the end of the coat racks which will provide a doorway into an enlarged little kitchen. There'll be space for a dishwasher, a much-needed improvement, both for efficiency and hygiene. We're "borrowing" about four feet of the coat room for the additional space.
Looking through a now glass-less window into the Chapel Lounge. The cut out area in the woodwork indicates where one additional door into the CL will be. There will be a corresponding door on the opposite side of the existing door, resulting in easier egress into the CL for large receptions and events. No more reception lines snaking back into the Narthex!
The existing wainscotting in the CL will be retained. Ceiling tiles are now gone, leaving the "polka-dot" pattern of mastik glue across the ceiling.
Standing with my back to the storage closet in the old office - looking toward the former pastor's office. The plumbing at the rear left is what's left of the former pastor's bathroom. Important goal for the coming week is removal of the wall to the left, which will open up the new hospitality space to the former hallway and visibly connect it to the Chapel Lounge. The wall pictured at the far rear of this photo will eventually house new library shelves. Comfortable seating, some good books, a welcome center - living our hospitality!
The new view from the entrance into the former women's restroom, with the former men's room now visible through the demolished wall. The plumbing served both the former women's and men's bathrooms. The plumbing will be removed and the space will become a work room/meeting space for the office complex. The new bathrooms will be larger, more accessible and more attractive.
