Arch Street United Methodist Church seeking to raise $5 million for restoration project - PhillyVoice.com

Image
A historic Center City church known for its social services is asking for the community's help in raising money to repair what the congregation calls its "symbol of hope." Arch Street United Methodist Church has rolled out a campaign to raise $5 million that will be put towards fixing up the house of worship's 155-year-old steeple, roof and other areas of the church. The congregation is first hoping to bring in at least $1 million by the end of 2021. An engineering assessment of the 215-foot-tall spire in 2019 found that extensive masonry work was required for both the exterior and interior of the structure. Protective netting was installed around the steeple in January. Raising the $5 million requested for the project could take 2-3 years, according to the church. But the restoration project received a significant financial boost Wednesday in the form of a two-for-one $125,000 matching grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places, a program that pro...

Following a severe recession in 2015 and 2016, Brazil's housing market began a period of slow recovery, which accelerated during the pandemic. A Restored Colonial-Style House on Brazil's Coast $ 2.3 MILLION ( 13 MILLION BRAZILIAN REALS) This two-story colonial-style house with a courtyard and views of the ocean and mountains is in the historic colonial center of Paraty, one of the best-preserved towns on Brazil's Costa Verde. The 6,997-square-foot, four-bedroom house was built between 1860 and 1870 on a lot once owned by Pedro de Alcântara of Orléans-Bragança, second in line to the imperial throne of Brazil. But it had been left to crumble by the mid-20th century, said Guilherme Makansi, the co-owner of Anglo Americana Imóveis, which shares the listing with a local partner, imóvel F. With government permission, the property was restored in the 1970s by a previous owner with attention to the Portuguese colonial period, Mr. Makansi said. River stone and double-cooked ceramic...

Authorities say it is one of the longest working fires in over five years in the city. Fire dispatchers say they received the first call at 12:29 p.m. that there was heavy smoke coming from the vacant, boarded-up clubhouse located at 8600 Cupp Drive. When firefighters arrived heavy fire and smoke were showing from the rear of the large one-story wood frame/stucco building.

Along with a fire that was growing in intensity, a second alarm was dispatched which brought additional firefighters and equipment. LVFR says the fire spread to the entire building and took over six ...
