    Built for Lindale Baptist Church in 1953, this building is being renovated to fulfill the needs of a modern congregation. Minimal work was needed in the Art Deco sanctuary space, but a complete overhaul of the administrative and classroom wing was necessary to function for the new church. The floor plates were wiped clean to make space for a new program including a full time daycare facility, a fellowship hall, a worship hall for the congregation that previously owned the church building, and plenty of office space and weekend classroom space.

    This was all accommodated with carefully orchestrated adjacencies and a series of movable walls, allowing the large community spaces in the building to be reconfigured routinely. The exterior character of the building was preserved with only a few minor repairs and improvements, while the interior has been re-imagined to accommodate the variety of activities this contemporary congregation engages in. A master plan for the campus includes a playground for the daycare and future garden spaces that will be given to the care of the city as a
    community park.
