A BRIEF HISTORY:
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was completed in late 1899 and remains one of the largest church buildings in the South. It is a Catholic cathedral in Savannah, Georgia, located at 222 East Harris Street.
"Between 1959 and 1963, the building went through a major renovation. The building was upgraded to include modern heating, cooling, lighting, a new plaza, a new pulpit, and a new altar rail. From 1984-1985, the building was again renovated by replacing the old, crumbling wooden foundation of the building with a reinforced concrete one. From September 1998-November 2000, the cathedral's slate roof was replaced, 50 stained glass windows were releaded, and the interior was restored. " (Wikipedia.com)
Metalcrafts, Inc. played a major role in this renovation. Below you can see photos illustrating the process of replacing the black slate roof of the cathedral.

St. Paul's Greek Orthodox Church, located in downtown Savannah, Georgia near historic Forsyth Park, was a large undertaking because it required the entire building to be scaffolded.
