salvaging church wood


The other night, i went to a lecture about local church architecture given by Tim Barrett. Recently, two former Anglican churches were demolished on Euclid Avenue. The land now belongs to the ever expanding Cleveland Clinic. I mentioned a brewery between St. Emeric's and the West Side Market, having some of the woodwork from Emmanuel (later Transfiguration) Anglican/Episcopalian. A fellow behind me, said yeah, he works there. Sean said their aging room has the pew ends on the wall [supra].

Sometime ago the church had a lightning strike, which caused some fire damage. While the building was taken down, some of the woodwork was salvaged. The brewery is still mounting the wood. Andrew (who is a tour guide there) showed me the filigree carving of Veronica's veil or sudarium.
Earlier some pieces were mounted on these doors behind the bar.
