St Francis of Assisi Church

Award-winning restoration

The circa 1910 painted ornament of this 9,000 square foot church ceiling in Sacramento, Ca. was restored and recreated after a seismic retrofit, as well as devastating water damage that destroyed over 40% or the ornament. Lynne Rutter supervised a crew of 11 decorative painters to complete this restoration, with Tom Ciesla and Associates, 1993.
