About This Project

The Chapel of Roses, a stunning architectural gem designed by Francis Harvey Slocombe, is celebrated for its intricate design and historic significance. Our firm was honored to undertake the roof restoration of this iconic structure, which first captivated attention in the 1920s. The project required a meticulous approach to ensure that every detail of the roof was restored to its original glory, reflecting the unique characteristics that define this remarkable building. The roof features an undulating, Storybook design adorned with substantial dormers and a beautifully shaped bell tower that enhances its visual appeal. Our team dedicated significant time and effort to replicate the patterned waves that characterize the roof's profile. This involved steam-bending materials to achieve the organic curves necessary for the eaves, gables, ridges, hips, and valleys. The craftsmanship involved in this restoration was paramount, as it was essential to honor the original artistry while ensuring the roof met contemporary standards for durability and performance. High-quality materials were sourced that matched the historic specifications, allowing us to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the Chapel. The stained glass windows, which are a hallmark of the structure, were carefully protected throughout the restoration process, ensuring that they remained a focal point of the overall design. Each element of the roof restoration was executed with precision and care, resulting in a seamless blend of history and modern craftsmanship. The final outcome of the Chapel of Roses roof restoration is a spectacular sight that does justice to Slocombe's original vision. The revitalized roof not only enhances the exterior beauty of the chapel but also ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate. This project stands as a testament to our commitment to quality and excellence in historic restoration, making the Chapel of Roses a prominent landmark in Jacksonville once more.
