Scope Of Work
Bowerman Associates recently completed the Pavilion at Grace Episcopal Church located on Westminster Street in downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
Westminster has seen a renaissance of development in recent years. As a century and a half old anchor of the street, Grace Episcopal Church has expanded into a new modern glass-filled gathering hall. This stunning new building is adorned with an outdoor cloister garden and peaceful meditation area to compliment the spacious event gathering hall.
Grace Church was originally designed in 1844 by Richard Upjohn, the foremost architect of the time, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Grace was the first asymmetrical Gothic Revival church in America. In 1912, another renowned architect, Ralph Adams Cram, designed the chancel, making it the only Upjohn-Cram church in the world.
Led by Rev. Canon Jonathan Huyck, Rector, Grace Church has been revitalized in recent years much like the “Downcity” area in which it is located. The church has a growing and diverse congregation that reflects the vitality of Providence, widely regarded as one of the best small cities in America. The congregation comes from up to an hour a way to be a part of this active community.
