The ornate exterior of the Chapel had eroded due to excessive
weathering. Old World Stone took upon the task of reproducing
over 200 pinnacles and finials based on original samples and
drawings. Replacement stones for the profiled band course
were also supplied in Indiana buff limestone.

When the chapel was originally constructed, the stone was
improperly face bedded, a problem only noticed years later
when water and weather caused the carved elements of the building
to shale and spall. The problem was particularly evident on
the spire quoins and main entrance jambs.

Struck by lightning! The 210' spire of this cathedral required
immediate attention to stabilize and dismantle the stonework.
Old World Stone worked with a local company, Premier Speciality
Contractors, Inc. to replace the damaged Indiana limestone.
Work on the spire was completed in December of 1997.
